Das Wasser des Lebens

Published 1997

Das Wasser des Lebens ("The Water of Life") is a re-theming of Settlers of Catan issued in partnership with the Glen Grant Distillery Company. The game itself is basically identical, but the theme is centered around Scotch whisky production. As Scottish Highlanders, players collect wood, stones, barley, peat, and clear spring water. With these materials they build roads and distilleries. The all too familiar robber from Settlers of Catan has become the "oppressive force". Das Wasser des Lebens features all new artwork and is packaged in the same metal cylinder that each bottle of Glen Grant Whisky ships in. As a final added bonus, the game even includes a small bottle of Glen Grant Whisky for the players to enjoy after a hard day in the fields. Belongs to the Catan Series.
