Brodie-bait Laid Bare

The Cupcakes of Catan

[via Ferris' Daily Chum]
How do you make the Klaus Teuber’s maddeningly fun boardgame
Settlers of Catan even more enjoyable? Play it with cupcakes!

"What is Cupcakes of Catan?" you ask.

Well, my friend, Cupcakes of Catan is a a totally edible, fully functioning, utterly playable, all vegan, mostly organic, completely cupcake version of the original boardgame, Settlers of Catan. If you’ve never seen or played Settlers of Catan, this whole operation may seem mystifying. In fact, even if you have played Settlers you may be confused by this all-cupcake version of the game. Why would anyone create such a thing? Let me tell you:

One: Cupcakes are fun.

Two: Settlers of Catan is fun.

Three: CupcakesxSettlers of Catan=more fun.
Apparently a non-winning entry in the Catan Food Contest.

Pff. This bait is weak sauce. For one thing, I am a gamer, but I've never been a lifestyle gamer. You'll find no Sam Fischer maquettes in my house (or past), nor will you find replicas of Battle Rifles or headcrabs.

The closest I ever got to this was the time that my stepmom made me a birthday cake for my 13th or 14th b-day which featured a Beholder (copied from the Monster Manual, natch), with the caption, "Behold! A 13th Birthday!"

That movie rating below, though. Look out!

admittedly pretty weak tea. I actually tried a once-brewed bag today, incidentally. First time ever.

So, are you suggesting that maybe your Moms got your age mixed up?

No, I just don't remember the exact bday.
