Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
On display in New York, and at the same time making its way through distribution, was Flea Market ($21), the newest entry in Mayfair’s Fun Fair line. Flea Market is an auction game about buying low and selling high, but with a twist. Bids by individual players are, of a sort, fixed. That is, the players each roll two dice to determine both the priority of their bids and the prices they would have to pay—higher numbers go first but also have to pay more. As the item for sale in a round is selected randomly, the thing purchased by one player may end up resold to others (with the seller earning a bonus from the bank). The winner is the first player to turn a $24 stake in to $45.
Also on display by Mayfair were the rebranded Catan and a Catan Traveler Edition ($45, available in June).
UPDATE: As requested, here is a picture of the Catan cards:

Travel Catan? ROAD TRIP!
Can you post more pictures of Catan 5th edition? Specially the deck cards, as that is the only thing I see that has changed other the art on the box. Anything else you saw that was different from 4th edition?
I’m trying to gauge wether to sell my 4th edition and buy this or just keep my 4th edition.
I did have one more picture and have added it to the article.
