If daVinci abandons Mayfair’s price restrictions, then I see this as a good thing. Posted by Jonathan Degann on Aug 28, 2008 at 04:57 PM | #

I, too, was wondering if Mayfair’s pricing didn’t cause daVinci sales to fall not to mention Mayfair’s almost-total devotion to anything Catan. Could Phalanx be too far behind? Posted by Kevin Rutherford on Aug 28, 2008 at 06:49 PM | #

Did I really say “a few months”? Well, let’s say September…
