You are absolutely right, sry I wrote it not precise enough. I was thinking of (one or two) tiles that triple the points if a street is finished.

The Cathedral doesn't triple, though, it adds 50%. But I'm not sure a multiplier is actually the most consistent way to look at it. I think of Cathedrals and Inns as both adding 1 per segment/pennant, so I see them as parallel.
Agreed.

No but if a road tripled, it would be worth the same as a cathedral city (three points per tile), which I think was the point.

You can read my thoughts - thanks for expressing them  ;D

Given that minor expansions these days are between 12 and 15 tiles, like Peasant Revolts last year, rather than 4 tiles, like Die Katharer....do you think that we'll see any more major expansions? IDK, I wrote more before, but with technical difficulties, I'm truncated. Maybe I'm just antsy for my package from Cundco to arrive. I was going to post a pic, but it got to be onerous. So, yeah, I'd love to see some more new expansions since the last major expansion seems to have been Hills and Sheep in 2014. Same year as the C2 release, so all the major expansions have been being revised to be incorporated, but something monumental would be cool. But really, the mini-expansions are now a similar amount of tiles as many of the prior major expansions -  :pink-meeple:

Well good news for you! The last major expansion was Under The Big Top (aka circus expansion) in 2017!

Pardon my ignorance, I am admittedly new to Carcassonne. Isn't the Under the Big Top just a refreshed Wheel of Fortune? -  :pink-meeple:

No! It's a whole new expansion that features acrobats, and circus animal tokens. It's pretty good mechanical speaking, even if the theme is wacky.

That's the joy of discovering Carcassonne, you keep finding out about new stuff!

Not at all  ;)
Under the big top is the 10th big expansion, and the first CII only big expansion!
It's gameplay is very different from the wheel of fortune, I wouldn't compare the 2.

Under the big top brings in a new meeple, circus chips and meeple acrobats.
You can find the rules and tile distribution on the wikicarpedia if you like to see it  ;D

It is a fun expansion and I would highly recommend. You can easily incorporate all or some of it into your games.

Guessing who will get the "flea" is the talk of all our games with the kids!
