McDonald’s Pimps Catan, Jungle Speed

Air Le Mag is a monthly custom publication with a circulation of 280,000 that’s produced by Textuel for Mac Donald’s – as the fast-food restaurant is called in Canada – and the March 2009 issue features a three page article on games that lists three titles as “must haves”: Monopoly (no surprise there), The Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow and The Settlers of Catan.

Small World, Ca$h’n Gun$ and Time’s Up are also mentioned in the article, and Bruno Faidutti, Tric Trac’s Monsieur Phal, and Jungle Speed co-designer Thomas Vuarchex are all quoted. The article mentions that Jungle Speed, which was introduced in 1996, has annual sales of 200,000.

(The “golden arches over Catan“ image comes from Filosofia, which publishes the French edition of Settlers for Canada and Europe. You can download this article from a news link on the Filosofia website.)
