Y-CON Remembers Klaus Teuber

We're very saddened to hear of the passing of Klaus Tueber - one of the most influential minds of board game development. Creator of the incredibly popular CATAN and winner of "Game of the Year" for four separate games, the gaming world would not have been the same without Klaus's contributions. Thank you for your brilliant mind and incredible games Klaus! ❤️
