      Counterpoint:

      I’m not saying this is a good idea, just that sometimes good movies come from board games.

        But Clue was just murder mystery, it’s already a proven story arc.

          Catan has no story as far as i remember so it’d probably be like dnd. Random stories set in the world. So you could take any proven story arc and just repurpose them for Catan.

      I fully expect theaters full of nerds (that’s why I’m going) to throw popcorn and be awful nuisances when they say longest road

      Maybe they can get Jared Leto to star. Ohh, and JJ Abrams to write the script.

      The actual fans ofcthe board game isn’t a big enough market to justify the expense, so the movie will need to be modified to appeal to a new audience.
