German game publisher KOSMOS has announced a new addition to Klaus Teuber’s Catan series: Die Siedler von Catan: Das Alte Agypten, planned for September release.
The stand-alone game, roughly translated as Settlers of Catan--Ancient Egypt, is advertised as a limited collector’s edition for Catan fans, set in ancient Egypt. Players settle in the time of the Pharaohs, and with their oxcarts build settlements and temple towns in the surroundings of Egyptian antiquity. In one variant, players can use "help of the gods" to build the Great Pyramid itself. The game is listed at €49.99 (approx. $68.00).
Obviously timed for a big Spiel at Essen release, the game will probably see American edition release from Mayfair (see "370,000 Copies of 'Settlers'").
