In October, MSN Games attended SPIEL '04 in Essen, Germany. MSN Games held a press conference to announce the launch of Catan Online and had a booth which allowed partipants to see early game demos. 

Joshua Howard, MSN Games Games Program Manager and Ross Erickson, MSN Games Business Development manager were at the convention to exhibit Catan Online and answer questions.

Here are some photos from the event as well as photos from the Catan World Championships!
