Catan Collector

I now have the Spring hexes and this means all three Limited Release Terrain Hex sets that have been released so far are in my collection..

This week I was very fortunate to receive an email from Daniel who sent me a couple of pictures of his own Catan collection.

This German language map (see below) is notable for being the first for a number of things. Most importantly, it is the very first Catan scenario map to be released. It is also the very first example of an Ancient Egyptian theme being introduced into Catan, as well as the first example of adding the feature building mechanic into Catan games.

When bored, I sometimes randomly search Catan in Google to see if I can find anything new to collect or find out new facts about my favourite game.

My collection grew with three new games today.  My sister-in-law came to visit and brought some items purchased in Australia for me.

This new set (Catan Wanderlust in English) is a collection of four previously released scenario maps released on double sided hard boards.
