As I had mentioned a few times over the last several weeks, I've been slowly going through my game collection and 'trimming the fat'... this weekend I made a decision to get rid of some games that I really like (a lot) but doubt I will ever play again...
My Catan Series of games.
Catan is a great game... it is hard to sum up in only a few words, and with this not being a review, the best thing I can say is head over to BGG and read up on their Catan Series of articles which has a wealth of information.
All in all I have nearly all of the Catan games that have been released, and the only one I am keeping is the "Kids of Catan" which is a game for 3-5 year olds (with my now having 3 boys falling close to that age group, I thought I'd keep that one around).
Tonight I listed the following auctions:
1) The Settlers of Catan base game (plus 5 expansions for it including Seafarers, Cities & Knights and all 5-6 player expansions).
2) The Settlers of Zarahemla
3) The Settlers of Canaan
4) Candamir The First Settlers
5) Settlers of the Stone Age
It is going to be sad to see them go, but I can't see them getting any table time in the next several years. My wife isn't a fan, my oldest son isn't a fan and my parents only like to game things like Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble.
One thing I do want to do though, is locate the deluxe 3-d collector's edition of Settlers that came out a few years back, it is fetching over $300 on ebay right now, but it is sweet! Wooden box, 3-d tokens, etc., it would be nice to have one Settlers game on hand for when an opportunity arises to play the game, so I might as well do it in style and try to locate that one.
