I thought I would start a new competition.
You must guess how many meeples of all shapes and sizes are in the jar. Simples!
The first prize is a brand new copy of either German castles, German monasteries, or GQ11. There is a second prize of a copy of my fan expansion which has 2 new types of meeple and 4 tiles.
Start guessing! (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/27/85ae8f7c6232688b92b11cb585fea1bb.jpg)

Great idea (+1) - can I confirm that barns are considered meeple?
-
I'll take 175.
P.S. Cool game :)
-
I'm going to go a lot higher and guess: 550
Fun game :)
-
Yes any kind of meeple, follower, etc - basically any sort of wood from carcassonne could be in there (possibly including fan expansions). But there are no bridges or tower pieces.
-
230?
-
This will run for about 2 weeks or so - maybe longer I will see how it is going!
-
Oooh, I'll take 121!
-
150
-
Nice ^-^. I'm going with 284.
-
187!!
-
My guess is 200 wooden figures.
-
I'll guess at 180 please.
No, wait, 181 - I've just spotted a particularly handsome meeple that I hadn't considered in my calculations!
-
I belive 132
-
I'm going to go with 165 :blue-meeple:
-
Andrew Caines guesses 303 (via Twitter: https://twitter.com/cainesap/status/625917581149511680)
-
Go to 182
But is close with 303??

I was also wondering if it was an optical illusion and the jar was empty!

How about 188?

if still no solution my number is 182 .

So no one managed to guess the correct number of meeples in the jar but there were some that were fairly close.
This is a picture of all the meeples laid out and counted. I hope I counted right!
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/16/b7fc5d78ba957f1b1eceffbe07785ad2.jpg)
There was a grand total of ............
297 meeples of various different types.
So the winner is ...
Andrew Caines with a guess of 303 and second place is Halfling with a guess of 290.
Please let me know your addresses today so I can send your prizes out before I leave for my holiday and Andrew, please also tell me your choice.
Thank you all for participating - it was fun!
-
I went with the calculated methos of one of every meeple in all the colours available and ended up with 199 +1 for the Wheel pig. Little did I know there would be an extra set of meeples in various colours.
-
Thank you very much for this great contest Rosco. :)
Merit from me! :blue-meeple: :(y)
-
Aww, so close. Oh well ^-^. Great competition Rosco!
