Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Elasund: The First City is a German style board game designed by Klaus Teuber, published in German by Kosmos and in English by Mayfair Games in 2006 for two to four players. It is the second installment in the Catan Adventures spinoff series based on themes from Teuber's The Settlers of Catan, though it uses entirely different mechanics from that game. Players compete to build the first city on the island of Catan, earning victory points by constructing public buildings and contributing to city infrastructure such as church sections and defensive walls.
