Games Quarterly Magazine celebrates non-electronic games: Board, card, role-playing, family, general interest, party, miniatures and educational games. It also features related topics -- books, movies, and other items of interest.

A dozen or so of the top writers in the games industry have features in each issue of GQM. James Ernest applies his wit and humor to Dr. Game advice column. Kenneth Hite gives a wry and astute view of games that have become classics. David Niecikowski shows in detail games that have particular merit in education. GQM Publisher Mark Simmons, a 28-year veteran who has worked on every level of the industry, makes sure each issue is overflowing with interesting and entertaining features.

This issue of Games Quarterly includes The Fisherman of Catan, an expansion for The Settlers of Catan.
