  Mayfair Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mayfair Games is a publisher of board and roleplaying games in the United States and United Kingdom.
Mayfair games was founded in the early 1980s by Darwin Bromley in Chicago.
In 1982, Mayfair's War in the Falklands game came under attack in the English press, which went into high dudgeon about Mayfair rushing out their game before the blood was dry.

 TSR vs Mayfair Games
Mayfair used the Gygax statement in the text of a flyer promoting Invincible overlord, and it used the AD & D trademark again at the bottom of the flyer to identify AD & D as a registered trademark of TSR (P-D P 47).
Mayfair's responsive statements have devoted a substantial amount of rhetoric to disputing the characterization of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and Dungeons and Dragons as "games," contending in part that TSR does not "own" either of them (see D. 12(n) PP 7-10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 23).
Mayfair contends that TSR did not complain of Mayfair's use of the Dragon Magazine statement until the current motion for partial summary judgment was filed in June 1992 (D. 12(m) P 43).

 Settlers of Catan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Settlers of Catan is a multiplayer board game invented by Klaus Teuber, first published in 1995 in Germany by Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH and Co. (Kosmos) under the name Die Siedler von Catan.
The standard game and its many expansions are available from Mayfair Games in the United States, from Capcom in Japan, Kosmos and 999 Games in the European Union, and Devir in Brazil.
The game's first expansion, Seafarers of Catan, adds in the concept of exploration, and the combined game (sometimes known as "New Shores") is probably the closest game to Teuber's original intentions
