Abbey - YES if this placement of that tile is the 9th (complete cloister with 9 tiles)

Your answer seems to make it contingent on it being completed with the placement of the abbey.

But, you can place an abbey into less than 9 tiles, even as few as 4. It is still like a cloister even if it isn't completed immediately. Wouldn't you still be able to enter it from the City when it is completed?
I just drew the perfect tile for my MonKnighThieFarmer!

"from the cathedral to a just completed cloister"

Yes, but that doesn't mean that the cloister tile is the last tile placed in that feature.

A cloister is only then finished for scoring if there are 9 tiles (8 tiles around the cloister - here Abbey)
-----------------
Edit:
Sorry Carcking,
I think I am tired... YES the Abbey tile don't need the last tile.
I was always thinking you mean the just placement of the Abbey tile - then it need the 9th tile.
But if the Abbey tile was already placed some game rounds before, then it only need one of the 8 surrounding tiles for finishing the cloister / Abbey.

So do we have it officially from HiG then that the Cloister, the Shrine and the Abbey are all the same as far as the City of Carcassonne is concerned?



And maybe off-topic, but is the Shrine able to challenge an Abbey, and vice versa?

Also, does the Abbey get the benefit of the Vineyards?

I seem to recall that a shrine can't challenge an abbey, but I can't prove it.

CAR v7.0 which is the only source for me regarding the Abbey and Shrine together I found these footnotes quotes:

208: The rules that restrict placement of cloisters next to already placed shrines also restrict the placement of Abbeys.

213: A shrine can challenge an abbey, and vice versa, because abbey is also a cloister.

Mayhaps already read this, but figure I post regardless.  :(y)
