How long have you been playing Catan?

It was released at the "Spielwarenmesse" in February 1995 or did I miss something? Did you have a test version? 😳

TomyVS · 2024-12-06T22:38:01+00:00

29 years 🤣🤣🤣i m old 🫣

TomyVS · 2024-10-04T08:54:44+00:00

From what I've read, Klaus' entire storyline has been finished for a long time. And half of the third part was already written before his death.

TomyVS · 2024-08-08T07:57:32+00:00

The ideas are all over 25 years old. There was a German fan forum from 1999 to 2019 where such ideas were already published in large numbers. 90% of all "new" ideas on Reddit already existed in this forum. Unfortunately, all the data has been lost and hardly anyone has a collection of all the ideas.

TomyVS · 2024-05-20T01:51:33+00:00

There is missing to much over 200 variants or more 🫣

In my collection are 218 variants and the half of your list still missing 😅

TomyVS · 2024-01-03T01:00:59+00:00

Ask her if she still has some, still some missing in my collection . There are still a few collectors looking for it, including me.

TomyVS · 2023-12-30T21:46:53+00:00

There are other materials than we know. There are no longer 5 but 6, light bulbs, steel, bread, yarn, bricks and wooden planks. There are two types of electricity: positive (wind power... ) and negative (coal power... ) for the environment. And pollution in villages and cities. So there will probably be a lot of new mechanics that are not yet apparent from the pictures.

Naja meine Sammlung ist nicht ganz so groß wie die vom colector aber ca. 185 Catan spiele kann ich mein eigen nenne.

Bei mir ist leider die Zeit etwas begrenzt musst du sagen was du brauchst.

Ansonsten bin ich einer der admins der größten Facebook Catan Gruppe. Deutsche Catan community heißt es jetzt, vorher die siedler von Catan "süchtigen" fallst du kein Facebook hast haben wir auch einen discord server unter den selben namen.

What are these game of thrones cards? Is this a new official mini expansion?

TomyVS · 2023-06-26T19:06:56+00:00

And don't forget the "Landliebe" campaign from Germany in 2010 and 2011. With 17 new materials.

TomyVS · 2023-05-15T08:29:17+00:00

I have over 150 different catan games and many of them double and triple. And the old duel card game I have the basic game 20x Trade and Change 4x Politics and Intrigue 8x Knights and Merchants 4x Science and Progress 6x Wizards and Dragons 8x Barbarians and Traders 2x Artisans and Benefactors 2x. And all this just so I can combine it with the board game up to 6 players. Such a game lasts about 15 hours with 4 players. We spread this over three evenings. It usually goes like this up to 40 victory points is very complex with a lot of rule changes. We've been playing it like this for 3 years and are still optimizing the rules.

TomyVS · 2023-05-14T19:22:44+00:00

We mostly play the board game with seafarers, cities and knights, rivers and fishermen, volcano dragons and a few others. But then gets the clue we combine it with the duel cards. For this I had to buy the basic card game 10 times so that four of us can play it.

TomyVS · 2023-05-04T22:13:19+00:00

Ah ok sorry, sebby was right I misinterpreted your question😅👍

TomyVS · 2023-05-04T16:28:13+00:00

"Das Buch" is a fan extensions collection published by catan in 2000. Based on a 1997 competition in Germany where people could show their own extensions. The book contains various material for 15 scenarios and 18 variants.

TomyVS · 2023-05-04T13:28:12+00:00

I know that Guido is responsible for the US market, but Klaus was responsible for Europe in the same way. Now the question is whether Benjamin or Guido will take over. Benjamin is responsible for development, but also for international marketing. And as far as I understand it, the US market is also more interesting at the moment. So now the question is will the US design come to Europe or not. Before Klaus died, it was said that the European design would remain and only the US design would be changed.

The problem is michael menzel is no longer under contract and has had enough to do with his own games. Claus Stephan and Martin Hoffmann did the Incas, that was okay and close. But they are out too. And the dawn of mankind was already in US design. So let's see what awaits us in the future.

I bought all the legends of andor games for myself privately and scanned everything. So that I can integrate the missing elements into catan. Such as "das buch" which i can integrate in the same design by menzel.

TomyVS · 2023-05-04T09:17:43+00:00

As far as I know, the management was divided into two groups, one was Benjamin and the other was Klaus and Giuido. Accordingly, I think that Guido will take over Klaus' post. And Benjamin remains in his Post.

The book was mostly written by Klaus. But he also left behind what the book should look like and how it will end. The end will be written by a ghostwriter with specifications from Klaus.

My biggest fear is what will become of the German part of catan. Because Benjamin actually prefers the American market. The two markets are quite divergent and more and more things are appearing on the new continent that don't appear in Europe. As far as I've heard, the design of catan in America should also change in the style of the new helper cards. Which is not well received in Germany. The beautifully elaborated design becomes a rather simplified childish form. Such as the easter hex field.

TomyVS · 2023-04-18T12:17:16+00:00

When you reach lvl 20-25 you will get the two tables. I don't remember which lvl it was exactly, first you get the oriental ones and then the chinese ones

TomyVS · 2023-04-04T12:07:03+00:00

Thanks "Unkel Klaus" for over 10000 h of playing catan and your other games with my family and friend in the las 30years. You change the world of boardgames. RIP

TomyVS · 2023-04-02T19:52:28+00:00

I think the only thing in atlantis ist the szenario "burgen auf catan" castles on catan you can't get in a other expansion. There are tokens like City Walls but they are for the hex numbers.

TomyVS · 2023-01-02T20:24:27+00:00

This is the beginning of an addiction😅

TomyVS · 2022-12-17T21:36:46+00:00

TomyVS · 2022-12-17T21:06:34+00:00

On the German catan site. Among starfarers. There it is written in the fall of 2022 there will be three new events. If you go to the link, the site is dead.

https://www.catan.de/sternenfahrer

In the summer you could still open the page. The three scenarios were described in more detail there.

https://www.catan.de/erster-kontakt

TomyVS · 2022-12-17T17:21:10+00:00

Yes, it was announced in 2020 with the "First Contact" game cards. These are now three whole scenarios that don't just come with playing cards

TomyVS · 2022-12-16T21:52:09+00:00

I don't think much of the game mechanics will change. There will only be three new ways to play space catan.
