    Any Catan players at BF? —Suzanne Rich
   I've just finished building a LEGO version of "Die Siedler von Catan", the German board game (American name: "Settlers of Catan"). I'm bringing it to BF and will be looking for play-testers! For those already familiar with the game: I've got (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest) ! 
   
        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Brian Davis
     (...) Now THAT I've got to see! Yes, both my son and I play, and love that game (we've only dug into the original so far, not the expanssions). We'd be up for a game if possible (although since he's 8, the venue and time might be problem). (...) (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

     (...) It matches the German original to within 1 mm. :-D -Suz (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
   
        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Matt DeLanoy
     Suz- I've played the game once, and I've been really wanting to play again. Count me in, I can't wait to see it. (ps: did you get my e-mail regarding me representing my club?) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
   
        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —David Koudys
     (...) OMGoodness!! I was soooo planning on making a 'LEGO-ized' version of Settlers in the near future! I would love to see pics of your version, Suz! Dave K -who doesn't play Settlers as often as he would like (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
   
        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Scott Quirk
     (...) <SNIP> (...) That sounds cool as all heck. It's been a long time since I've played, but I'd love to have a go! I should be good for any off-hours time, but it might be interesting to actually play during the public expo as well. -Scott (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
    
         Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Suzanne Rich
     (...) That's a good idea! I'll try to make it known if I do something like that. As for others' questions: I'm keeping details and pictures private until after the Fest. ;-) -Suz (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)

So... now that Brickfest is over... ;) ::has been watching flickr for pics of it; but the many many people that have posted pics seem to have avoided you:: (18 years ago, 28-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)

     (...) Now it IS "after the Fest"... I'm curious to such an extend, show us some pictures, PLEASE :-) -Rene (18 years ago, 28-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)

     (...) This is what I found by snooping at Flickr-- (URL) pic... Looks totally awesome though!!!! Dave K (18 years ago, 28-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)
    
         Re: Any Catan players at BF? Rene Hoffmeister
      (...) Indeed! I thought it would use part #2419 to depict the particular fields, but the actual implementing is fantastic, withot question. It looks brilliant! -Rene [LDrawPart 2419] (18 years ago, 29-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming, FTX)
    
         Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Brian Davis
     (...) Well, here's a few more: (URL) Sheep as ice cream. This is not only beautiful to look at (the close-to-the-board views are wonderful), but it looks wonderfully playable. Since all the "moves" in Catan are along the hex edges (which looks like (...) (18 years ago, 30-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)

        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Jason Spears
     (...) That's totally awesome. I'm not going to be able to make it to BF this year, and Settlers isn't really my cup of tea, but I can't wait to see the pictures. How did you manage the resource cards? Are they lego or are you using the ones from the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
    
         Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Jonathan Wilson
     I think Clue (or whatever its called) might look good in LEGO with a 3D mansion and minifig accessories for the weapons... (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.gaming)
    
         Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Elroy Davis
     (...) I've seen that done somewhere, though I can't remember where at the moment. My daughter and I have played on the regular board using minifigs and accessories as the pieces. It's amazing how easily you can make a minifig resemble the picture on (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.gaming)
   
        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Doug Eaton
     (...) I wanted to make the whole board but my wife only wanted a tray for the cards. (URL) card decks are each just under 7 studs wide, just over 10 deep and just under 1 brick high. (...) Always interested in a game of settlers. (...) (18 years ago, 24-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
   
        Re: Any Catan players at BF? —Roy Nelson
   Greetings Suz, Unfortunately I won't be there but I am a huge fan of the game. I couldn't stand the boring wooden pieces for the robber, barbarian, pirate, and merchant so I made some customized minifigs: (URL) (18 years ago, 29-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
