"The Settlers of Catan" on "The Big Bang Theory" - again!
Tuesday, 24 January 2012 16:11
We are very delighted that for the second time, “The Settlers of Catan” was featured in the world-famous TV show “The Big Bang Theory” - namely in the 100th jubilee episode 5x13 “The Recombination Hypothesis”.
The first time, the guys just played Catan without even mentioning the name of the game, but now Sheldon “unintentionally” delivered the famous, yet naughty “Who has wood for my sheep?" joke - which was, no doubt, absolutely hilarious.
We would like to thank the show's creator and this episode's story editor Chuck Lorre for featuring us the way they did. We couldn't be more proud that “The Settlers of Catan” has made it into such a famous TV show - which, according to the ratings, has been watched by 15.83 million people, thus beating American Idol, which was on at the same time. Way to go!
Season's Greetings 2011

Based on our board game, Rebecca Gable’s The Settlers of Catan is a must-read adventure rich in detail and rippling with intensity.
The year is 850. In the seas of northern Europe, the small coastal village of Elasund falls prey to marauding neighbors. Their food stores pillaged, women and children stolen, livestock destroyed, the villagers are left to barely survive the harsh winter — and contemplate a drastic solution to their recurring hardships: leaving the only village they have ever known. Foster brothers Candamir and Osmund lead their people on an epic quest to a mythic island home, but without knowledge of exactly where the island is, they must trust the gods to deliver them safely. Lost at sea and set adrift, an extraordinarily violent storm washes them ashore the island famed in pagan lore: Catan. They quickly set about building a new society but old grudges, animosities, and social orders lead to fraternal strife. As the ideals of Candamir's Christian slave spread throughout the village and conflict with pagan law, the two belief systems clash. When both Osmund and Candamir fall in love with Siglind, the mysterious queen of the Cold Islands, things come to a head.
