A lot of the anti-Threads posts here sound like a guy who almost convinced everyone at the party to play his overly complex German board game. But while he was setting up, someone turned on Mario Kart in the other room, and he’s pretty salty about it.
@mleveck And one last example before we can start playing Carcassonne: The cloister at [B2] (one point) is surrounded by eight tiles (eight points). Also note there is a completed road [A2]—[B2] between the incomplete city [A1]*[A2]*[A3] and the cloister [B2] worth two points. This example has five fields and three incomplete cities.
