Amazing job Paul! When can we expect a big photo of the final board?

I'm still going thru the images, see if I can find tonight for upload.

Seems the images we took ourselves ended up poorly.

Hopefully the photographers that where there were better. Let's hope they mail them soon.

Meanwhile, here's a video instead:

There are no more holes in the landscape on the right side - but in the livestream there were some small holes there.

And really - you used the New Edition for the final tiles ?

What's happening here?

It looks like your sister is playing 3 turns in a row, then your friend played 2 tiles, before you got a go; were you playing with Builders?

Edit: Also how many cities and roads did you complete?

Definitely worth going for the King and/ or Robber Baron tile in this game if that expansion was included. Might take a few months to work out how much they're worth though!

Paul,
I am still not sure about the 25 hours game play.

That would mean that you played only 12 hours on Friday (25th March) and 12 hours on Saturday (26th March) and one hour on Thursday (24th March)...

This will be explained later in the Journey blog.

Each box contains 600 tiles and we were assigned one box each.
Due to constant interruption by visitors we kept losing track of whose turn it is. This resulted quite often that one box gets finished early for we skipped turns. But in the end, everyone played a fair amount of turns as it resets when we take on 3 new boxes.

I still haven't done a count yet, but I could do that later on, to give you this info, maybe even this week.

King tile is shared? All three of us were awarded the biggest city. But Robert did get a solo city of some 160+ points alone I believe.

As for the road, I alone got the longest road awarding me 35 points. But 15 points is not exactly a huge deal in this game.

An interesting idea would be, having several King / Robber tiles is, when someone gets the longest road for example, gets the first. Then when someone beats the ol' record, gets the second. A bar needs to be set, though, for the first completion, say 7 points road?

I have the played schedule and will release later.

We played roughly 2 and a half hours Thursday evening, from 9:00 to 3 am on Friday (including breaks and dinner) and on Saturday we started a little after 9 (or was it 10?) and ended at Midnight sharp.

Only the person who completed the city receives King tile. So, it still matters

The same applies to the roads.

This goes to show when I last used this effect. Thanks for reminding me.

(I think last we used it was the megaCarc game played 2014!)

It is nice to read your daily chapter in the topic "A Journey Into the World Record of a Game of Carcassonne"

Paul, do you have some photos now ?

Thank you!

Also, forgive me for not posting today's Journey yet, was sorting tiles since early morning and now it's after Midnight, just realising this. Time really flies.

This sequentially means I've not gone thru more photos yet. x_x
