Hi Aussies. ex-dutch backpacker here.

I was very (unpleasantly) surprised to hear from a friend you are STILL selling ‘Dutch Curry’ soup. Again. There is no such thing as Dutch curry.

If you do not stop selling this, I will start selling ‘Australian Pavlova Mix’ in every Dutch supermarket. Very authentic. Very Australian. 100% from New Zealand.

You know Dutch curry is Indonesian. We know pavlova is Kiwi.

You have been warned. Nye.

Hi there! 20year long playing catan fan here. Got a huge collection and always looking for new ways to change the gameplay, while not adding too many rules.

I was building the board today and thought of this.. placing my hexagons, ON TOP of a layer with water hexagons. This looks like nothings changing playwise. But what’s bugging me sometimes is that you need to build 3 boats to go from a spot with 2-resource hexagons to get to another spot with 2 resource hexagons. This makes them quite inferior to roads, where you need to build 2 roads to go from 2 or 3 resource hexagon to another 2 or 3 resource hexagon. I have played countless of games where people just don’t build boats at all.

This setup kinda fixed that, and its fun to have some variations on depth of the board.

What are your thoughts on this?
