Als Klaus has written, new cards have been added which had been necessary to make the new game playable. Also some cards of the old game have been changed in function and properties. Therefore this reform is not comparable with the "little" reform in 2003, for which in Germany some new textboxes for old cards could be downloaded and by Mayfair the Barbarian & Traders Upgrade Kit was published. @Tom: Since it is a quite new game it makes no sense to add an “upgrade” for the old game.

That said, the changes sound pretty scoped, and I wonder if there will be instructions for existing owners of the game to play with the new rules. Is an "upgrade" being considered for existing customers, or a new set of runes for playing the old game with the new rules?

I own 2 complete sets of the Card game, with all expansions. We play full verson of Cities & Knights almost every weekend with friends, but when we have a small group we sometimes play the Card game, we even have played with both sets and 4 players (changing up some rules as we go to make it work). My "I guess" is that now I have to decide whether to buy a new set for the new, and hopefully, better experience. Good luck and I am excited to see the results. (I also purchased a tin-can German Version, for the container and figurines) I’m excited, I guess, for a new version of the Card game….. I own 2 complete sets of the Card game, with all expansions.

I've played it for years with my wife but always felt somewhat guilty doing so because a small part of me saw it as cheating since it was "only" a card game and not the real, original board game version. For the record, my wife has always loved the card game more, exactly for the intrigue, detail, etc. you blog about in these card game posts. So: thanks for helping me see the light. (And a year of plenty!) Kudos also posted on my blog: http://dmandle.wordpress.com/2010/01/30/settling-catan/ Thanks so much for the inside look at how the card game version of Catan came to be.
