“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”

Mayfair Games was a game publisher founded in 1981 by Darwin Bromley in Chicago. They started with the railroad game Empire Builder and soon expanded to role-playing game supplements. In 1993, they faced a lawsuit from TSR, Inc. over trademark issues but continued publishing until TSR bought the rights.
In 1996, Mayfair brought The Settlers of Catan to the US market. Financial troubles in 1997 led to a bailout by Iron Crown Enterprises, which restarted Mayfair under a new name. Pete Fenlon became CEO in 2007, focusing on Catan products, which sold over 750,000 units by 2013. In 2016, Mayfair transferred Catan rights to Catan Studio under the Asmodee Group, with Fenlon moving to the new company. Larry Roznai, who joined in 1999, was the last CEO. Mayfair Games sold its assets to Asmodée Éditions North America and shut down on February 9, 2018.
