"The Big Game," a giant Settlers of Catan game organized by Mayfair Games in conjunction with Gen Con Game Fair, will be an official Guinness World Records attempt for a "Most People Playing Settlers of Catan Simultaneously" record, the company announced Monday.  An official Guinness World Records adjudicator will be on site at the event on Friday evening, August 16th, at the J.W. Marriott in Indianapolis. 

Up to 1,012 players can play on a special board, through a turn limit of 62 turns.  Entry fee is $10, which will give each player a limited edition deck of Catan resource cards, a single-player set of Catan & Seafarers pieces and a custom Catan map.
