Catan Geographies: Germany, Coming from Mayfair
In mid-March 2009, Mayfair Games will release Catan Geographies: Germany, an English-language version of Die Siedler von Catan: Deutschland Edition, which Kosmos released in October 2008. Catan Geographies: Germany uses the basic Catan game system of resource gathering, trading and building, but the action takes place in Germany rather than a fictional land.
Each player starts the game with town halls in three cities, then builds roads to reach neighboring cities in order to build unique German landmarks, which provide special awards in addition to victory points. Building additional town halls gives a player more chances for gaining resources and claiming Longest Road, Largest Army and special VP cards based on Germany’s history. Here’s a picture of the gameboard in the Kosmos edition:
Catan Geographies: Germany is for 3-4 players, ages 12 and up, with a playing time of 60-90 minutes and a price of $55. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.

I’m glad I held off buying the German version. Hopefully, the Mayfair version will the look and same components as the Kosmos version. Added to my Wish List for sure. Posted by Kevin Rutherford on Dec 30, 2008 at 03:53 PM | #
