Carcassonne: Cult, Siege & Creativity
2008 / Tile placement board game mini expansion / 2+ players / Germany
A rather obscure expansion bundle variant for the Chinese forgers to copy (the lack of meeples or mixed materials generally might have decided it), I mainly bought this for the knock-off price and availability, but looking through the excessive list of pointless expansions that were churned out over the decades, it was one of the more appealing anyway.
The blasphemous challenge to the cocky cloisters is right up my street, so the shrines will be mixed in permanently. They add options and character.
The sieges are also well conceived, but a bit more hostile. They might get annoying if they're in every game, unless there's a score to settle.
I'm just leaving the two custom tiles as handy Scrabble-style blanks for now. I only just realised this game is Scrabble.
