The Village recently purchased two complete sets of the board Game - Settlers of Catan. If you are interested in borrowing them, please contact Pastor Eric. We would like to use these games as a way of connecting with our friends both inside the community and outside the community.

Settlers of Catan is a multiplayer board game invented by Klaus Teuber, first published in 1995 in Germany by Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH & Co. (Kosmos) under the name Die Siedler von Catan.

Settlers is perhaps the first German-style board game to reach any degree of popularity outside of Europe. It has been translated into Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish from the original German. The standard game and its many expansions are available from Mayfair Games in the United States, from Capcom in Japan, Kosmos and 999 Games in the European Union, and Devir in Brazil. Computerized versions also exist for the PC and mobile devices such as the Nokia N-Gage. Also, Microsoft recently announced at the August 2006 Leipzig games convention that a version of Settlers will soon be available on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360 along with other German board game adaptations.

Teuber's original design was for a large game of exploration and development in a new land. Between 1993 and 1995 Teuber and Kosmos refined and simplified the game into its current form. Unused mechanics from that design went on to be used in Teuber's following games, Entdecker and Löwenherz. The game's first expansion, Seafarers of Catan, adds the concept of exploration, and the combined game (sometimes known as "New Shores") is probably the closest game to Teuber's original intentions.

Like many games released by Mayfair, the English-language version of the game has different artwork to the German original.
