Mayfair Ribbon Quest –coming soon to Gen Con Indy 2006!!

     “I offer two clay for one grain” shouts a man, holding up two red ribbons in the air, eager to find a trading partner at the ORIGINS convention. Sounds like a typical trading transaction you may encounter in a Catan game, right? Close! Mayfair Games, launched a fantastically successful program at this year’s ORIGINS show, namely The Great Mayfair Ribbon Quest™!

      This quest is sort of Meta Catan game, which includes game enthusiasts throughout the entire convention. Here’s how it works: play a Mayfair game and/or attend a Mayfair game demo to receive a “Catan Resource Ribbon.” There are five different ribbons, representing the 5 different resources on the island of Catan, namely clay, wood, ore, grain and sheep.

     Once you have earned a set of all 5 different colored ribbons, you receive a Knight of Catan Ribbon, the new Catan Event Deck, a coupon good for 50% off of a Mayfair Game of your choice (except the 10th Anniversary 3D Catan Game), and a raffle ticket!

     We at Mayfair were all pretty excited, when we came up with the Ribbon Quest. However, the success of this program at ORIGINS beat even our wildest expectations. The result of the Ribbon Quest was stunning: one convention visitor after another was bitten by the Mayfair ribbon bug and everybody had a ton of fun. In the ORIGINS exhibitor hall, gamers were streaming in masses to the Mayfair booth to play games, attend demos, and trade their hard earned ribbons at the bank of Catan. The crowning event arrived with raffling off the 10th Anniversary The Settlers of Catan 3D Limited Edition, John Mountford of Canton, Ohio was the happy winner.

Eager to participate in the next Ribbon Quest? Your next opportunity to earn ribbons and cool prizes will be coming soon, at Gen Con Indy 2006 from August 10 – 13, 2006 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Ribbons earned at ORIGINS are redeemable at Gen Con. Hope to see you there!
