Great reply Mr Numbers, that's actually a great questions for Carcassonne players: what's the most number of players you've had in a game. Has anyone had all 11-12 meeple colours active in one game, has anyone had more?
Exciting question!There are some guidelines on Mega-Carcassonne (in the complete annotated rules, available in downloads), but you can play however you like. I usually play with two copies of the base game and one of every expansion, but that's just my preference. You'll likely only be able to play with six players, unless you have purchased extra player sets. Or you could play in teams. More than six though will really slow things down. With six players playing Mega-Carc, you're looking at several hours at least. Maybe five/six? Depending on how quick people are. Make sure you have a copy of the Complete Annotated Rules handy, and check out Bolieroo's flowchart for handy, easy to read help on mixing expansions (http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=2374.msg34463#msg34463) Issues I have found, not to put too fine a point on it, are that people get bored in between goes! With six players choosing from lots of placement options, it can get quite slow. Give plenty of tea breaks!I've jumped in quickly here, but I'm sure the more veteran players will have more advice!Also, I don't think I've seen a post from you before, so - welcome!
Welcome to Carcassonne Central.You may be interested in hearing one of out forum members is starting a largest game of Carcassonnerecord attempt tomorrow. They are planning over 10k of tiles in around 40hrs!The largest game of Carcassonne I've played was at meetup in Rugby last year. We played with 4 or 5 mini expansions we developed and 3 base game boxes. We had 7-8 players and ot took around 3.5 to 4hrs to complete. We did break for lunch.How long do you want to host the event for?How many people do you want to participate?I would recommend some simple expansions and use a variant to allow players to buy back trapped meeple, rather than leave them waiting for that certain tile.Hope that's helpful, we should be able to target your needs a little better with some more information. I'm guessing most of your players are quiet experienced carcassonne players?

I'm certainly interested watching a 12 player game.
Hello, hexanauta!Here are more interesting topics for you to examine:http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=713.0http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=759.0http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=1311.0http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=1595.0
Welcome!Make sure you take a look here, there are many megaCarcassonne reviews. http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?board=3.0My definition of a mega Carcassonne game is that I take a base game with a lot of expansions. Making a total of around 400-500 tiles. But it is an opinion.
Be carefull though when using only the base game. If you only take the base game, I think the game would be less interessting when playing 4-5 hours.
