Carcassonne Enters the Guinness Book of World Records

Four German Carcassonne players—Dr. Leszek Bajorski, Frank Riemenschneider, Marcus Stahl, and Sascha Walner—played Carcassonne for 42 hours and 48 minutes in September 2006, long enough to qualify for entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for longest board game marathon.

Wow--which expansion did THEY play with?
After 42 hours, I can immagine that it would be pretty difficult to do the end-scoring of the farmers!

I keep having this mental picture of WW II tacticians poring over a Carcassonne display while moving their Knights and Farmers into place with those long-handled croupier sticks!
