Right now I'm browsing through wargames, and my 'Recently Viewed' column is filled with long titles with colons, like Blood on the Snow: The Battle of Suomussalmi or Bastogne: Screaming Eagles under Siege. This is the longest title in the column.

Well, it is easy to have a wargame title built like "Call of Arms: The Battle of XY, Starter Kit: the struggle begins - Westhampshire 1186" or something like that.
But a single word with 13 letters. Top that.

Ah, the wonderful world of German composite words: 15 letters, and I bet there are longer single-word German titles...

The full title of this game is:

Wie Jim Bailey, Clint Joe, Daisy Hundelby, und Old McDoaly nach dem Fischzug in der Ballington Mine in den Red Range Mountains sich die Nuggets teilten. Oder: Play West

Ok, I win. Or can anyone beat that?

This isn't bad, either - and by checking this, I noticed that this game has three separate entries that can be merged (correction submitted).

Oh dear, I wish they had decided to go for

instead of

This makes it only 13 letters in a single word, but this game just HAS to be on this list

Tiny game, massive name.

If you don't know it, it is about as high as this entry and about a quarter of the width.

Yes, I know, that depends of what size you are looking at, but you get the idea, it's small.

It's Welsh. Something about St Mary's church, I seem to remember.


Here's the railway station.

If we're playing the place name game try this one from New Zealand, it's the name of a hill in Hawkes Bay

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (85 letters)

Translation
The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.
