From the Mayfair Games Website

Coming to Gen Con 2013: The Big Game

Catan® Just Got Bigger


Prepare! Be a part of something that has never been done before! Never even attempted!
Make history!  Come set a world record for most people playing in the same board game. What’s the biggest game of Catan® you can imagine? Picture it in your head. At Gen Con this year you have the chance to play in The Big Game ™.
What is The Big Game? It’s a 1000 player game of The Settlers of Catan® played from start to the finish of 62 turns. Even better, judges from the Guinness Book of World Records will be on hand to make it official as we break the record for the largest Settlers of Catan® game of all time.
Admission price for The Big Game is $10. But the rewards far outweigh the cost and you’ll be part of history! Each player participating in the event will receive special limited edition “Big Game” Settlers of Catan® card deck, one limited edition single player set of Settlers of Catan® and Seafarers™ wood in one of 6 unique colors specially chosen for the occasion, and each player at the event will take home a Big Game™ map special designed and printed for this event.
But wait, there’s more: one of those special decks will contain a Golden Ticket! The player with the Golden Ticket will win a 10th anniversary 3-D Catan® game, the Treasure Chest edition, an exceedingly rare, priceless item.
The Big Game™ will be held at J.W. Marriott’s White River Ballroom. Check-in is at 5:30 pm and the event lasts until a winner is crowned. Food and drink are available for purchase at the venue. So join us at Gen Con 2013 and become part of history. Years from now when people talk about The Big Game, you can say- and prove- that you were there.
