yay!

you can make your own board!
weeee

I just need to decide whether the £100 is worth it, and what to stick on it

but I'd feel guilty getting myself one, so I need to use it as a strategic gift

Just thought I'd share this treasure with the rest of you

It's one of the best ideas ever

It's a great idea, sadly I've never played a complete game of Monopoly. The fact that we turned it into a drinking game didn't help matters much.

Generally it goes for a couple hours before someone flips the board over and yells, "Fuck this game!"

Which is still pretty funny, even if you were winning.

Yeah, that's how it always ends

Monopoly is the game designed to make your friends hate you for weeks
it's why it's so much fun

the biggest fight the wife and i ever had was over a drunken battle for Catan...

needless to say, i learned my lesson the hard way

Catan's good enough of a game that it doesn't require it to be turned into a drinking game of some sort.

Ah yes, I can remember getting into longest road battles, and insisting that everyone refer to me as the "Sheep Baron" due to my mass amount of wool.

As you might imagine, the sheep jokes flowed from there.

Catan is great - lotsa good jokes can come from it. Lotsa bad ones too.

And you haven't played cutthroat Catan until you allow players to demolish roads and towns

4+ players. Normal sized board. Couple house rules (demolitions and anyone rolling a 2 or 12 rolls again). Keep all sharp instruments in another room.

Never mention that you're about to win. Wait until you've won, and *then* say "Would you look at that? Looks like I win. Well, guess it's too late to do anything about it."

Yeah, I'll compress four stone to make one sheep! How's that possible? Well, you see when you add heat and pressure, carbon becomes a sheep.

If you haven't tried playing with multiple boards, you're missing something. Playing against 7 other people and having two people taking a turn simultaneously makes for even more excitement.

Expansions, so far as I can tell, only seafarers seems to be good. Knight and castles just makes for a too complicated game. Of course having a house rule that says you must take a drink whenever a seven is rolled, might add to that complication.

Cities and Knights was good if you didn't use the house rules for demolitions. It was always an amusing mental image to see a knight, arms folded over his chest at the end of a road. The builders just turn around and go back home.

Of course there's also the fun of fighting off the barbarians with one knight.

Although you are right, it definitely makes things more complicated.

errr
so what's Catan?

Cadrius · #11 23rd of September, 2003, 07:12

Settlers of Catan

Although really, it's far more fun to play with the expansion Seafarers of Catan. Any game that has an unkillable thief as well as a pirate is automatically cool.
