Carcassonne components sizing information
Neil:
I took a bunch of components to work today to measure them. I've organized the data to match kettlefish's request but I also have an excel file full of all the current data I could upload. All the lengths were measured with a caliper and mass was measured on a balance, both tools were calibrated two months ago. When I find my pair of large calipers I'll be able to measure larger components but right now I'm limited to 150mm. Also, soft components such as paper and cloth are not exact dimensions because they're difficult to measure, this also includes the mini box because I didn't think to unfold the box.

Excellent work! Thank you Neil, seeing the variance in dice is quite alarming. I have to ask: Did you get any strange looks from your co-workers?
kettlefish:
Hi Neil,
thank you very much for this update. The excel file is a very good idea. Is it possible for you to make a pdf ore jpg file for it? Then you can upload it as an attachment here.

The Star Wars game was the most shocking because they're plastic dice. I may take them back and measure all sides to determine a standard deviation of the six dice. I stayed after my shift to measure everything so I didn't bother anyone. My boss came up and asked what I was doing and I explained it to her, she remembered playing the game in college. I reassured her that I was doing this on my own time. She said I couldn't be in the lab when I'm not on the clock, gave me a wink, and that's how I was paid an hour of overtime to measure game pieces.

Yes, I can do both. It may take a day or two before I get around to cleaning up all the text but I'll upload it soon.
Decar:
Haha - well don't get into trouble on our account.
At least you didn't tell your boss you were measuring your wood :-[ :-[
That's why they don't let me near the machinery any more :@
It's quite common for dice to be of varying sizes, if you take a set of regular die and stack them 1:6 the height of 10 will be significantly different from the 2:5 sides. I'll see if I can take a shot so you can see.
