Wired Mag: Perfect German Board Game Redefines Genre
Written by admin on May 29th, 2009Fourteen years after its Essen release, Klaus Teuber’s classic boardgame, The Settlers of Catan, is finally ready for a mainstream American breakthrough according to WIred Magazine.
Since its introduction, The Settlers of Catan has become a worldwide phenomenon. It has been translated into 30 languages and sold a staggering 15 million copies (even the megahit videogame Halo 3 has sold only a little more than half that). It has spawned an empire of sequels, expansion packs, scenario books, card games, computer games, miniatures, and even a novel—all must-haves for legions of fans. And it has made its 56-year-old inventor a household name in every household that’s crazy about board games, and a lot that aren’t.
Most impressive of all, though, Settlers is actually inducting board-game-averse Americans into the cult of German-style gaming. Last year, Settlers doubled its sales on this side of the Atlantic, moving 200,000 copies in the US and Canada—almost unheard-of performance for a new strategy game with nothing but word-of-mouth marketing. It has become the first German-style title to make the leap from game-geek specialty stores to major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Toys “R” Us.
Settlers is now poised to become the biggest hit in the US since Risk. Along the way, it’s teaching Americans that board games don’t have to be either predictable fluff aimed at kids or competitive, hyperintellectual pastimes for eggheads. Through the complex, artful dance of algorithms and probabilities lurking at its core, Settlers manages to be effortlessly fun, intuitively enjoyable, and still intellectually rewarding, a potent combination that’s changing the American idea of what a board game can be.
It’s about time.

Where to begin?
Written by Shannon on May 9th, 2009A good place to start a new blog about games is with a review of a classic game that should be in everyone’s collection. Carcassonne. This game is arguably the ultimate gateway game. A game that is easy enough for a new gamer to pick up quickly and hold his own against a more experienced gamer.
