I have a question regarding the rules of the final game: should we use "The Pig herd is present on the farm tile" option of the GQ11 expansion or not? It can be a decisive factor as farming will play an important role in this game, presumably.

In my opinion, we must stick to the official rules as close as possible. It means that

This year's world cup is over.

Who won it?
Well, I'm not telling you right now, but you can watch the whole game at the link below.  ;D
Be prepared for a long video. Although it's a 5x timelapse recording, it's still one whole hour long. I think it's understandable that now I'm a bit exhausted.  :P
And if you watched it (or you just jumped to the end to know the result) please don't mention the name of the winner here - at least for a day. Maybe others would also like to watch the game without knowing the outcome.
(During the game I had to rotate the board twice to avoid too much zoom-out. I hope this won't make the gameplay hard to follow.)

Congratulations to the winner! Very thrilling game! Of course, I didn't spend an hour watching the whole game, but I just fast forwarded it, watching key moments (so, maybe, about 15 minutes). The winner wasn't clear till the very end!

I've looked the you tube video. It was a great game and so many points to score.
You both played very well. I think the right two participants played the CarcC world cup 2016.

Gratulations to the winner.

Yes, I would still like to play the 3rd place game.  I have just been very busy with the holidays.  I hope we can schedule the match soon.

Hi Joe,

I'm ready to play.  I'm around a fair bit at the moment, evening and daytime.  Let me know when you are free for the 3rd place match.

To wrap up this World Cup and to start new online competition we need this game for 3rd place to happen.
JoeSesquipedalian, khalidqasrawi - is playing this game is included in your nearest plans?

We played last week actually.  I've got the screen shot on my other computer but I don't have access to it I'm afraid.  Sorry for our tardiness in getting the write up posted.

Well done guys, those were some incredible scores!

Thanks everyone for taking part, I will update the Order of the Meeple spreadsheet and post an update there as soon as I can.

Now it's over to MrNumbers to find out what we'll be doing next (in conjunction with the new league if anyone is interested in that).

MrNumbers - we need the final x-score lists and perhaps the final statistics.
