All spring I've been working on this little project called Settlers of Grey Islands. It started off as just a spare time fun activity, but has snowballed into being something more serious. It is a customized version of the popular board game Settlers of Catan, but based on the Grey Islands. I'm still working on it, and it should only take a couple weeks to finish up if I can get a solid block of time to finish it. Here are some progress photos:
The game tiles will be made from relief-carved coloured porcelain, while the cards use photos from the Grey Islands.
If you are familiar with Settlers of Catan, here is how the two games compare:
Robber = Polar Bear
Soldiers/Knights = Foxes
Roads/Settlements/Cities = Trails/Tents/Cabins
Meadows/Sheep = Heath/Caribou
Mountain/Stone = Mountain/Stone
Forest/Wood = Forest/Wood
Grassland/Wheat = Bog/Berries
Hills/Clay = Beach/Sand
If you are unfamiliar with Settlers of Catan you must go out and play it right now! It is really the most fun game.
