Klaus Teuber, creator of the board game (The Settlers Of) Catan, has died at age 70. After releasing his huge success in 1995, he created a whole universe of games and novels. When he developed The Settlers Of Catan, he was still working as a dental technician in his main job. His approach as a game author was based on his conviction that a good game is based on a story. He is quoted: "The players don't know exactly how the story will develop, they have a wish, a vague idea, see how a castle emerges from the fog – and they want to go there.
