Episode Synopsis

It took us a while to get our meeply asses in gear, but we (Alice, Bailey, David, Taylor, and Victoria) finally managed to get together in one (virtual) place and pay tribute to Klaus Teuber, designer of CATAN (originally The Settlers of Catan) and one of modern Eurogaming’s OG’s.After starting off with the usual “what we’ve been playing”, we share our earliest memories of CATAN and other Teuber favorites, discuss CATAN’s role as a gateway game and whether it’s still the gateway game, whether it still stands up design-wise today, and end off by comparing our favorite CATAN variants.On the way we also talk about the following games:Ticket to RideHoplomachus: VictorumDixitKinokoCATAN Histories: Struggle For RomeSettlers of the Stone AgeCATAN Histories: Settlers of America: Trails to RailsFairy TrailsWacky Wacky WestMachi KoroSpace BaseRead our latest musings on Tabletop games and culture at www.dailyworkerplacement.com.The Game Changers podcast on Klaus Teuber and the history of CATAN can be found on iTunes and Spotify.Check us out at https://theyrecalledvictorypoints.com/ or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theyre_called_victory_points/!
