Friends, Countrymen, Fellow Settlers of Catan

Well friends, I am officially suffering from Catan exhaustion. After a two and a half hour nap, I am still feeling exhausted to be quite honest. I am old - way to old to not go to bed until after 1:30 this morning. Thanks to Heather it was a weekend of fun and frolic through the settlements of Catan. She brought this lovely game called "Settlers of Catan" to Convocation. To be quite honest, I was intimidated by the box. This looked like one of those games where you need to belong to Mensa in order to play. It was such a good time. Thanks to my partner in crime, Mr. Marsh, I settled Catan during the wee hours this morning. Now, I am on the hunt for my own box of Catan. However, upon arriving home it seems that there are different versions of Catan - do I need the travel version, the anniversary edition or just regular Catan? Do I need regular Catan, Space Catan, Knights and Castles Catan, or Mayflower Catan? Do I need the expansion packs and which expansion packs do I need? My mind is boggled. Aside from Catan, it was a great weekend to spend with friends.

i would say we should all buy something different but then, what happenes when we want to play starfields of catan and nathan has it but is in carbondale, or something like that....

i say we each buy every set...maybe if each of us bought 10 different sets of catan, than the compnay might throw in a free mug that we could use for tea

I love that idea - perhaps you should start a "Mugs of Catan" series. This might be just the job you are looking for. Mugs has to be a very profitable business.

Dont they make like mug "iron ons" so to speak, not really irons i know, but printable pages that you can transfer to a mug..we shall create our own mugs..

OR

Cafepress.com , that website where you can upload an image and open a store for free (Free Cody) has mugs in their catalog, so we could go that route.
