The Settlers of Catan

The Settlers of Catan or "catan" is classified as a geeky board game but it's really just an awesome strategy game that me and the girls from work + Becks have taken to playing every Monday night in my new flat. It's fun to have a girlie game night <3 of card throwing, name calling, and cut throat strategy.

Becks wins!

The Game: Players assume the role of settlers on the game board, each attempting to build and develop their settlement while trading and acquiring resources. Players are rewarded points as their settlements grow; the first to reach a set number of points is the winner. Simple enough right? Except the board changes every game, dice determine resources produced and plays decide wither or not they want to trade with you which can sometimes be based on if you stole their cookies while they weren't looking rather than strategic game play.



This is the expanded version, normally there aren't that many cards. We had to move it to the conference table to accommodate the scale

board close to end game... this may have been end game, I dunno but I won anyhow (white)! Go Becks with longest road (orange)
