What I meant by that is just that Catan is going to be incredible. I didn't mean to act like it was the only board game coming to the XBL Arcade. Oh, I’m sorry Karsten.

We're all scattered across the country now. Having these board games available to play online with video chat similar to UNO would be perfect.

Thank you for bringing this up. I'm dying to play Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit - all of the classics on XBL. And just think about the extra content they could rake in the cash on - Monopoly "Limited Edition" board downloads, different Trivial Pursuit editions -- it seems to me like board games would be a huge cash cow for publishers.

As for the old American games that sit on the shelf, everyone is discovering that the joy about these games was the company, not the games. Playing them solo against a computer, you realize how vacuous they really are. And why play bad game across a net when there are such better choices?

I have no idea when these games will be released, but they are coming. Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne and Alhambra were officially announced as coming to the XBLA in Leipzig last year.
