Settlets of the Catan - Fun group game
The idea of this game is to be the first person to reach 10 points. The way this is obtained
is through building settlements which can be upgrated to outposts (1 and 2 points ea). You
start off with two settlements and receive resourses based upon the hexagons your places
are located. You also receive extra points from other things like longest road, and largest
army.
What Makes this game fun is that you have to work together to trade resources with other
players to get what you need to build as it is doubtful to get all the resources you need
yourself. It is a fun way to interect with peers and try not to make too many enimies. This
game also ties in a bandit which can prevent someone from getting valuable resources and
other things.
What makes this game truly fun is it is entirely random (well, close enough) every game.
The pieces are places differently each game with the values changing each time too. Plus,
the resources are controlled by two dice which mean a "good" spot could potentially be barren
(it happened to me but I am not too bitter).
