Title: 7 hours of Carcassonne in 59 seconds
Post by: jcardwell3rd on June 29, 2015, 02:12:23 PM
Hey Meeples!
I just celebrated my birthday with a large game of carcassonne!
It was 468 pieces and was tons of fun.
Figured the time-lapse would be apreciated here.

Yes I designed them a while ago.
I had posted all my stuff on the old forums.

I also made the play mat you see in the video. it is a 25x55 grid.
so it has a capacity of 1375.

We plan on doing a 50% capacity game soon.

The nice thing about the grid is that it is labeled so you can reference tile locations like you can in chess.
Also, I made some "chance" tiles from blank tiles i ordered from germany.

One of them is the explorer where it alows you to place your next tile anywhere on the grid.
Because there is a grid you can connect it up to the main map without worry of spacing etc.
The explorer tiles also provide better "reach management" in large games.

Welcome!

Awesome time-lapse, thanks for posting!

7 hours of Carc to end in a tie... That calls for a rematch! ;)

Great video :) . I'm surprised nobody had given you merit for it yet; I'm only too happy to change that.

Thanks for posting details of your player boards too. They're not something I use but I like the idea.
