Looking For A Fun Board Game?

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Settlers of Catan, is a board game that never seems to quite grow old. I’ve played it many times and it’s still my favorite game. One nice feature of Settlers is that it’s competitive but not too much. Unlike games like Risk that cause people to become overly competitive and mad, Settlers of Catan keeps people engaged but not angry.

Perhaps one of the best features of Settlers is the way each game is completely different. Unlike Monopoly, Life, and many other board games, the Settlers of Catan board actually changes each time you play. When you begin a new game you can follow one of the many different board setups shown in the direction manual, or you can just make your own board, which is what I like to do. Of course, due to the uniqueness of the board, Settlers does take time to set up, but it’s worth it.

Another nice feature about Settlers is the amount of control you have. In games like Monopoly, Bingo, or Risk, almost everything really comes down to luck. While the resources you get are based on the roll of a dice in Settlers, everything else is dependent upon you. What you build, where you go and whom you trade with is not up to luck. Settlers is also a more interactive game in that you can trade with the other players.

There are also different things that can be added onto the original Settlers of Catan game, such as Cities and Knights, and Seafarers. While Cities and Knights can bring out more vicious competition, it is tons more fun. Seafarers is also more exciting to play, but does not bring any additional competitiveness. Then there are extension packs that allow additional people to play, which I’ve used before.

Overall, Settlers of Catan is an amazing game. It never grows old and always keeps me engaged. I love playing it in a cozy home environment with friends and family. A safe home is the best place to play this fun game. There are many ways to keep a home safe, but the best way is to have a home security system.
