Perhaps we should really look into this? http://www.tableofcatan.com/
I thoroughly enjoyed playing "The Settlers of Catan" with everyone. That's an interesting strategy game, and I'm hoping we try and play a little longer next time. This game reminded me of what could have been an expansion pack to the Oregon Trail back in grade school. Oregon Trail always built up the excitement of getting to Oregon and players needed to be strategic in their preparation and organization of resources. The perils and obstacles that came with the journey from the scurvy, broken axle's, and to the rattlesnake bites only strengthened the desire of my 4th grade friends to reach the promise land of Oregon Territory. Once we got to Oregon, the game ended and the revelation that the thrill of journey was the entire point washed over our impressionable and youthful minds. Needless to say, it was anticlimactic. I'm glad we have a game like Settlers of Catan that fills the void and furthers the strategy and entertainment of constructing our own communities.
