I am addicted to a game I thought I never wanted to play. My husband has played Settlers of Catan several time with friends in the past and has raved about the game, but I never thought I was interested till last weekend. My husband borrowed the game so that we could play it with his family and I got roped into playing the second game. By the end I actual won. I think that’s what really hooked me. I’m sure it was all luck, but it was still fun to win.

In Settlers of Catan, players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities, and roads. On each turn dice are rolled to determine the current production on the island. Players collect raw materials to build up their civilizations to gain enough victory points to win the game. This game is a Spiel des Jahres (German game of the year, 1995) winner, primarily because of its amazing ability to appeal to non-gamers and gamers alike.

From Mayfair’s web-site:
“For 3-4 players ages 10 and up.”
