Carcassonne: Cult, Siege & Creativity

Xmas 2008 present to Margo!

New tiles and a new element to the base game. It's a fine addition. I play with a random selection of mixed expansions to keep each game different from the last.

Traded (with base game) for Pirates of Nassau.

I like this expansion there is however nothing special about it.

Cult is fine although it often happens that we forget the rule forbidding to place a cult or a cloister next to two opposite tiles. We rarely see fight between heretics and monks and except for those two things this is just like cloister. So nothing new.

Siege is a bit better. A good way to spoil opponent's city or to add a "double city" to your own meadow. However there are only 4 such tiles so one has to be really lucky to have it in time to spoil opponent's city. Or play with multiply copies of this expansion.

Creativity in this form is in my opinion pointless. It would be better if empty tiles were available as a separate product so one could buy as many as needed.
