Amazing collection of games. Do you play only official expansions? On images I checked I saw only them.

I own only official expansions as of now. I haven't bought blank sheets yet – they are on the to-buy list after some other items (like the Carcassonne maps and maybe some other spin-offs). If I will ever print any Carcassonne fan expansions, I will play them (but not very often, TBH – mostly like an 'experiment' – I am still a purist at heart, but after playing so many games of 'official' Carcassonne, I could consider playing a game with fan expansions). But when seeing the price on CundCo (yes, I know that it is cheap), I cannot help but thinking that I could buy something else – another tower dispenser, a tile bag, scoring flags...

I know. After finishing my collection of official (pieces in acceptable prices) I realized that fan expansions can brings a lot of new experience to Mega Carcassonne. And when I check games we played in last year, maybe only games on tournament was with only official expansions (or just base game). Every time we have at least one/two fan expansions in the game.

The game of today.

Just thinking how cool it would be to set up an overhead camera and make a time-lapse movie of a game…

Anyway love the photos!

Nice yellow barn! Sad green barn.

What is the small rectangular piece with two bumps on one side? Oh, is that a cart?

Also what are the fancy buildings?

Fun stuff

Both barns are on the same field.

It is a wagon placed as a claustral prior.

What do you mean? The tokens are tollhouses (from The Tollkeepers), and the special monasteries are German monasteries (from Monasteries in Germany).

Oops! I somehow convinced myself that green needed a FFFX tile to connect!

So only pink is sad.

Hahahaha! I suppose my understanding is stuck in 2015:

ELEMENT OF THE WEEK: THE MONASTERIES
…
As a digression, this expansion, as well as Carcassonne 2.0, have now utterly confused the landscape of Carcassonne with conflicting religious terminology. Cloisters have Monks, Abbeys also have Monks, Monasteries have Abbots, but Abbots are also what are placed on Gardens and Cloisters in Carcassonne 2.0. And just to add more confusion, Z-Man Games now calls Cloisters Monasteries (which actually matches the German usage of the term). So...yeah. In English, there are a lot of different terms that can be used for these things—Monasteries, Cloisters, Abbeys, Convents—but there are also a lot of terms that can be used for who occupies them: Monks, Nuns, Abbots, Priests, Clerics, Priors, or even Bishops and Cardinals. Forethought was something Hans im Glück sometimes fails at, but here they really just have confused the heck out of everything!
