Wasn't that the one from parks and rec? ha I've never played it, but with my
board game collection already filling up a dedicated games room I'm on hiatus
from buying anything else...
Apparently the show paid the Catan guys to make a real version of the game which was used in the final episode. It was later released as a show exclus at some Game con. Apparently the rules were impossibly complicated, as required!
The rules were a perfect illustration of some modern games, where so much gameplay scope-creep means that when the games released you've just narrowed your audience to small groups of hardcore board gamers with a lot of time.
Already with complicated euro-games we can't play some of them until my wife has gone through the rules and then summarised it to us predigested like a mother bird spitting chewed up worm into the hungry chicks mouths
It seems like the newer board games, I don't even know what to call them... strategy board games(?), are just video games converted into cardboard form. All the complicated rules work fine in a computer game which does the work f you, but are impossible... or very difficult... to track in physical form.
