Up for bid here is an UNPUNCHED Set of "The Settlers of Catan - The Book".
Actually, most of the set is in German, with a 32 page supplement providing the English translations.
Although unpunched, a couple of the tiles have come loose.
The outer sleeve, which holds both the hardcover book and the Parts box, shows a bit of wear but is good overall.
There is a light line on the front of the translation book.
Here is what the supplement says about this set:
THE BOOK - Rules for playing the Scenarios and Variants
by Klaus Teuber, et al
In this special sourcebook you will find new ways to expand your enjoyment of the Settlers of Catan.
Klaus Teuber and Kosmos Verlag in Germany held a design competition, and the best results were included in this book. This competition attracted a wide variety of responses, so it is no surporise that an entire spectrum of new types of play were included.
Within the 192 page book await 15 new scenarios for the basic Settlers game and The Seafarers of Catan expansion. You will also find 19 new variations that will create entirely new experiences with the game. And there are plenty of tips and tricks for improving your play, a discussion of the history of the game, and even some suggestions and tactics for The Settlers of Catan Card Game.
Also included is a box full of new playing pieces that you can use when playing these scenarios: ten sheets of high quality (die-cut) cardboard counters and tiles that you can use in a variety of ways to enhance your Catan experience. There are more than 450 new pieces for use with The Settlers of Catan and The Seafarers of Catan games. Also included are 12 plastic bags and labels to help you organize your new pieces, and 24 plastic stands.
We at Mayfair Games are proud that we are able to present this product to you. Though the book is in German, all of the scenarios and the special components are fully compatible with our version of the game. To assist you in enjoying the book, we have attached this translation of all 15 scenarios and 19 variations, as well as the special "Small Tournament" rules for the Card game. It is our hope that you will find that these scenarios and variants provide a rich variety of ways to enjoy one of our favorite games.
Please note that this is NOT a literal translation; some changes have been made to enhance readability.
For fans of the Settlers of Catan, this book is a fantastic resource. It includes pictures of the prototypes, a history of the game's development, and lengthy discussions on strategy, deck builing in the two-player card game, and more great stuff. These sections of Das Buch are NOT reproduced in this translation. Our translation only includes the scenarios and variants.
The editor would like to thank all of our legions of Settlers fans, without whom these translations, and all the success of the Catan community would not be possible.
NOTE: To play these scenarios, you will need to use at least a basic set of The Settlers of Catan and possibly some of the expansions.
