Silent Auction Rules & Another Preview

The silent auction this year will have a lot of games and other goodies. The way it works is simple. There will be a display of auction items and each item or lot will have an auction slip. Just place your bid and if on Saturday at 8:00 pm you have the highest bid, you are the winner. We will be accepting cash or check (made out the the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry). You do not need to be present to win, but please make arrangements if it looks like you won't be there and might win.

Das Buch

The preview for today is The Settlers of Catan: The Book. If that title doesn't sound familiar, it is because this game was only published in the German language as Das Buch. This version comes with an English translation of the rules included. The game comes unpunched and according to the prices I see on eBay, it looks to be quite valuable. So, what is this game? It is actually a book with 15 expansions for Settlers of Catan!! Those expansions are:

1. The Atoll
2. The Bermuda Triangle
3. Catan Express
4. El Dorado
5. The Explorers
6. The Fleets
7. The Colonies
8. The Great Race
9. The Treasure Hunters
10. The Specialists
11. The Storm Tides
12. Transport Settlers
13. The World of Catan
14. Westward
15. The Desert Riders
