Quelf
Has anyone played it before? It is an awesome party game for 5-8 players. You get to do random and funny things such as stunts, singing, quizzes, etc. It is kind of like Mario Party, but in real life ;]
One of the characters in this Quelf game is a Pickle...... ^__^ yeah it is that random.
Catan, the videogame?
I was looking up info on the Settlers of Catan game and found that one of its publishers is in Japan. The Japanese publisher is Capcom, a big name in video game companies. I found it interesting that they also make videogames, yet also distribute other types of games. It makes me want to look more into the other products that many of my favorite videogame companies produce and distribute, as it would be fun to find new games that I would never have heard of otherwise.
Also, there IS a Settlers of Catan videogame, simply called "Catan". It's not produced by Capcom, but it's on the XBox Live Arcade. And it's been available since 2007.

Supply and Demand...
Playing Settlers of Catan on wednesday was a highly enlightening experience for me. It had easily been two years since the last time I'd had a chance to play the game, so I was looking forward to it. What I didn't count on was how insanely competitive our class is. Some games of Settlers that I've played have been so laid back that you almost couldn't tell that anyone was trying to win, but that certainly wasn't the case here; because between my partner's wheelings and dealings, and everyone else's infectious enthusiasm, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
After having spent yesterday down at the Red, White, and Dead Parade in Fremont, I'm now pulling out my Go board and pieces to figure out my three rules for wednesday's class. Hope everyone is having a good time figuring out their own three rules! I am stoked to see how it goes when we all combine these for our own modified "Game of Life".
Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Wednesday Fun!
When I heard that we were going to play "The Settlers of Catan" last Wednesday, the first thing that popped into my head was of Chris Kattan (tumblr_lj0hw7qjyd1qetts3o1_400.jpg) formerly of SNL! I've never actually played the game before so I was kind of just going off the image in my head, which turned out to be very inaccurate.
But anyway... when Wednesday rolled around and we all started to hear about the wonders of Catan, I was really confused. I mean I was just lost in the rules so much that I just decided to just go along with whatever comes along. But after a few rounds of sheep collecting and road building, I got pretty into it. I think the most fun was haggling with the other teams and acting like having a brick, stone, and wood would just complete our lives as settlers.
Overall, Settlers of Catan is a fun game and I hope we play again!

Table of Catan?
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.
