We’re Settlers fans here at Muse Games (in fact that’s our Game Night office-copy pictured here), so imagine our surprise when a Settlers of Catan expose popped up front and center on Wired.com. German board games have long enjoyed a fairly prominent subculture, and granted Wired doesn’t exactly rep the mainstream, but it’s definitely nice to see it break the glass ceiling (Wood for Sheep FTW).

Which leads me to my next, possibly more important point, which is that, if you like Settlers, you’ll love our next game! Elementia is a combination of a number of the elements (no pun intended) that make german board games so fun to play. This is still mostly under wraps, but I thought I’d whet your appetite with a quick screen of our next release!
