If you've only recently gotten into Carcassonne, you probably don't see the need for an add-on like this. But if you're like me and you've collected several Carcassonne expansions over the years, your games are high-scoring. You've done your best Meeple gymnastics, trying to orient the little wooden people in varying ways to indicate different values, but inevitably confusion arises - either because someone bumped the table (and now your head-stander is a flat-backer) or because a friend has a different convention for the 100 point position.
Or you've looked at the little weird "50" and "100" tiles that come with the Inns and Cathedrals expansion and wondered how on earth that's supposed to help you. Can you really be given a tile and be expected not to fidget with it? And even still, why keep the score in two places - the scoretrack AND the player's hands?
No longer. These meeple flags attach directly to the meeple, indicating how many points you have at any time. If you've passed the start once, add the +50 banner. A second time, add the +100 banner. And so on.
Included in this set are six flags for +50, +100, and +150. Additionally, there are two flags for each of the +200, +250, and rare but sometimes possible +300. This brings the total number of flags to 24!
So keep up with your personal gymnastics routine, but give your meeples a break. Buy them some thematic banners to raise proudly as they march around the scoretrack, heralding the glory of your Carcassonne empire.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can send me a message on game crafter, or via reddit under username StarFlicker. Thanks!

This is a really, really cool upgrade
I received a set of the Meeple Flags from Alex, as a donation to the Carcassonne Museum. Although it was given for free, this is not a sponsored review and my opinion is my own. The idea of these fla...

Very cool addition to a classic game!
This is an awesome add! Much better than the standard 50/100 tiles! They fit well with the meeples that come with the game, however I have purchased different brands of meeple for different colors and...
I really, really love these! They’re beautifully designed and fit my wooden meeples perfectly. We no longer forget how much each different meeple ‘pose’ is worth, and my kids are keen to score more an...
These little flags are great! I was lucky enough to received these as part of a promotion from the designer would have instantly bought them if I hadn't won. The price point is excellent and they are ...
These flags are an excellent supplement to the Carcassonne game, and I feel that they are the best method for keeping score available. I typically play 2-player games with at least Inns and Cathedrals...
