Spoke butted (double or even triple) to reduce weight while maintaining strength. A variation on the wire-spoked wheel was Tioga's "Tension Disk", which appeared superficially to be a solid disk but was in fact constructed using the same principles as a normal tension-spoked wheel. Instead of individual wire spokes, a continuous thread of Kevlar (aramid) was used to lace the hub to the rim under high tension. The threads were encased in a translucent disk for protection and some aerodynamic benefit, but this was not a structural component. Wire spokes can be radial to the hub but are more often mounted
Carcassonne: Wheel of Fortune not involve any new mechanics (primarily from "Carcassonne: Inns and Cathedrals", "Carcassonne: Traders and Builders", and "Carcassonne: King and Scout"). However, certain tiles have additional markings significant to this expansion. The new feature of "Wheel of Fortune" is the namesake wheel, which takes the place of the starting tile. The wheel consists of a number of spaces, and players, in place of placing followers on the tile they just played, may place tiles on spaces along the rim of the wheel. Each space on the wheel may have one or two spaces on the rim. In addition, a pig-shaped marker
