Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? (James 2:15-16)
Imagine the look you'd get if you accidentally bumped the table.
There's really only one thought I had while looking at the picture: I'm sooo glad I didn't have to play in that game! I don't mind playing once in a while, but when it's over, I'm never wishing it wasn't.
A new Guiness-Worldrecord for the biggest Carcassonne-Game (official: Boardgame-Time-Marathon) is planned for 8.-10.September at Spielezentrum in Herne, Germany (between Dortmund and Bochum). Target is to play 7500+ Carcassonne-tiles in 48 hours.
Spielezentrum Herne is searching for:
1. Team Captains. At least 4 Team-Captains who will play all 48 hours (pause of 15 minutes every 8 hours). These Team-Captains have to make every move themselves.
2. Testifiers At least 2 testifiers have to be there all time. A Team-Captain cannot be a testifier, but it will be possible that a testifier consults a Team-Captain, so a testifier can play next to the Captain. But ... a testifier MUST be an outstanding person like ... ... physicians, journalist, lawyers, judge, notaries, policeman, politician with a seat in a parliament/town councillor, minister/priest, people with a doctor title, teacher (only an official) ...
3. Players The players will consult the Team-Captains and have to play at least 2 hours before they can be changed.
4. Medical Service Is someone physician, nurse, medic (or thomething like that), ACTIVE in that job and likes to "work" for 8 hours?

Simple, before mixing tiles, for each tile from a boxset, mark a number corresponding to that box.
I use 3 boxes of 72 tiles in our games, each set is marked wtih 1, 2 or 3 to seperate the 72 from each set. Expansions have their own lettering scheme.
Tiles are drawn from soft fabric bags so you can't see whats on the front or back.

Think about playing a 48 hour Carcassonne and getting your builder stuck badly after half an hour...
46 Basic games x $15 = $690 46 Inns & Cathedrals x $9 = $414 46 Traders & Builders x $9 = $414 46 King & Scout x $4 = $184 1 large river (Included with Basic game)
Total = $1720
All my pricing is from thoughthammer.com rounded to the nearest US dollar.

Of course nobody had to buy all these games ... the games were sponsored by the german publisher HansImGlück.
I am actually pretty content with 1 set... The people who did this are my heroes. Problably don't exactly have 'all the dishes in the drawer', but deserve respect.

So what did you do with the tiles afterwards? I'm willing to accept a donation =).

I also have to wonder about inner table tile placement. Did they have to lean way over the table to get to its center to place tiles at the start, or was it a sectional table? When working with something on this scale tiny displacement of one or two tiles can have a bad affect on alignment when you get two long arms of roads meeting one another. I'ld imagine a large block of grid lined paper beneath it prevented this from happening. But it still makes me wonder.. Inner table tile placement?
As previously stated.. Peter Pan tile placement? (flying)?
