This morning I tried to see if I could stack all 30 tower pieces on top of each other and place a meeple on top. It's not as easy as you might think and it took me four tries, but eventually I did it.

For those with more than one copy of the tower, how high can you stack it?

I'm impressed!

Merit for you.

Will try this, definately.

Sorry but that's not a valid move as you didn't build your tower on a tower foundation tile...

Great work though! I dread to think how much damage you could do with a tower this tall!

EDIT: I see you also used a photo of this tower as your new profile picture, but what is that face in the background?

It's the Roman emperor Hadrian, who built a tower or two in his time.

I didn't properly set up the photo opportunity before I started building the tower. If I did, I would have put a gargoyle or something else a bit more medieval in the background.

A gargoyle? Lol. I'd say Hadrian was a better choice since he did build a tower or two.

Just for you.

LOL!!!

Geee, thanks...

At least you got the tiles underneath this time.

I like it so much that I'm changing my profile pic again ... even if the meeples are yellow!

I thought he was better known for his walls

Indeed, but there was a milecastle every Roman mile along Hadrian's Wall, and turrets evenly spaced between the milecastles.

But really I was just scrambling to explain why I included Hadrian in a Carcassonne photo.
