Other Games / Settlers of Catan
« on: November 07, 2011, 04:57:36 AM »
I recently started playing the board game Settlers of Catan this summer while working in a mining exploration camp in the northern Yukon, Canada. There wasn't much to do some days so we had a lot of time to play and a lot of different people to play with. After a while the game gets EXTREMELY strategy based(there still is a small amount of luck involved) as you learn the tendencies of your opponents.
The game is basically centered around the control of resources and using them effectively. The game is originally German and is a German style board game (more strategy, less luck) but is recently gaining a lot of popularity in North America.
I wanted to make a post on this to get the game out into the Catan universe because I think that if you've got a "BM mind" you will definitely find value in this game!
If anyone already plays this game and thinks its worth talking about, feel free to elaborate on my post. I wouldn't mind getting a strategy forum going for Catan because most of you brilliant BM ers are amazing strategists.
P.S. They recently released a version of the game for Xbox 360 Arcade and it's totally worth buying.
