We just finished the rivers and 3 boxes each containing 240 tiiles. Images coming soon!

I won't update the thread as much, rather uploading on Twitter instead as it's easier to upload images there without editing. But some images will be posted here soon and a video or two on YouTube I think. Give me 30 mins or so.

We'll be taking a break and start again tomorrow, Friday or play a little more during the night.

Unfortunately we are limited with the internet connection and thus I can't upload the over 1 gb movie. x_x
Instead, these will be uploaded after the event when I get home. But live stream is still a go!

Where can we watch it?

A bit of a delay but it's up and running live now!

The landscape looks very nice. There are enough tables for the mega game of Carcassonne.

At the moment they use 17 tables for the landscape.
They can place 12 x 12 =144 or 13 x 13 = 169 landscape tiles on one square table.

Dozens of meeple looked on in horror as the World Records Attempt at Carcassonne turned ugly today. After clever tile placement and the use of a flyer, the blue player was able to steal a 400 tile city that the yellow player had spent 5 hours constructing. Creator Klaus-Jürgen Wrede after being asked for a comment in the aftermath said, "I was really rooting for Paul until I found out he had no copies of Die Schule. Here he owns 10,000 tiles, but no school. Who does that?".

Guinness tweeted today, "While Paul and his friends did not capture the world's largest completed game of Carcassonne, he did capture the world's biggest angry table flip."

It does look great. I also like watching the tables getting added.

It took me awhile to figure out what the green things were sticking out of the one player's head.

There. We're taking a little break before continuing. Not sure if we'll do another live stream today, else it starts again tomorrow at 12:00 Swe-time or during the night.

I'll soon read your comments!

Hi Paul,
please tell us how many tables are really in use till now.
from the position of the camera I saw only 17 tables, if I was right. I saw only one new table during the livestream.

24 tables are being used atm. Part of the board wasn't showing. We'll try to get a better angle for the next stream.
