I’ll take you up on your offer, though I won’t reveal my Catan name here! Stay tuned for more . . .

Hi Jeff.
What a wonderful blog you’ve written here! Now I know that you are a self-confessed Catan addict (and you’re not alone), and this might just feed your addiction, but I would like to give you a one-month free premium membership to the Catan Online World at http://www.playcatan.com. This is the official, international site created and maintained by Catan’s creator, Klaus Teuber (you know, the “perfectionist German masochist”), and his family. We would love to have you as our guest, and of course, would be thrilled if you write about your impressions in a blog post. But I must admit, I think it would be difficult to top this wonderful and eloquent essay. You can get in touch with me at jimplane@catan.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
Jim Plane (Catan nickname: Aero)

Your fact checker here to say— the Catan crackers are from Trader Joes…if anyone is looking for them.
Was it me who said it was a good idea to start a blog? I may need you to change my name to protect my innocence! I am not so comfortable with everyone knowing that I am Catan catwisted. Which is to say, I don’t have all this extra time that you speak of… and yet I am ready to play our next game. : ) With house rules… no snarking!

Does that include writing about Catan?

The only thing I would add to this most excellent essay on Catan is: “Always remember: Trade with your fellow players first THEN rape and pillage them!” As in real life, it doesn’t work so well the other way around.
