In 2006 I bought my first Catan 3D 10th Anniversary set.
When I saw the 2005 set I was just enthralled by the design and quality of the whole package. The entire presentation, including the sea chest carry case and hand painted pieces had me hooked and I had to have one. It was the most expensive game I had ever bought and I did not mind one little bit.
Games Quarterly magazine's first issue was in the Spring of 2004. It was promoted as a magazine devoted to non-electronic games.
Catakatoa is one of the rare pieces of Catan memorabilia that many know but few have seen. It was the first English volcano scenario and featured in the March 2005 issue of Game Trade Magazine.
Catani Pankur ("Bankers of Catan") is a rare mini-scenario produced by Brain Games for the Baltic market. There are two known versions - Estonian and Latvian.
The "Big Game - Big Honor" scenario was released in 2015 as a promotional give-away and first presented to those people playing in the 2015 Big Game event. It has never been made available for sale commercially, expet through private sales.
Both sets are for the "language sets" section of my collection. In this area I want to collect all my favourite Catan sets in each language they are available in.
