Long time board game publisher Mayfair Games (English-language publisher for Settlers of Catan and many more) has shut down.
All of their games have been sold to Asmodee North America, who also own Fantasy Flight Games, Z-Man Games, Rebel, Edge Entertainment, and a host of other board game companies they've picked up over the years.
[Ed Note - Asmodee NA also picked up Lookout Games at the same time. Lookout was the publisher of Agricola and Caverna.]

More important than Settlers of Catan to me, Mayfair Games was responsible for the single best tabletop role-playing game period, DC Heroes [wikipedia.org]. It uses a system that easily lets players play characters like Superman and Batman side-by-side. It's been out of print since the late '90s, but I still own it and play it to this day. There's been dozens of tabletop super-hero RPGs since, but none better IMO.

Agree completely. Table lookup was the only slow part of the game. Created an easy app to do table lookup with plugging in 4-8 numbers.
