Mayfair Games

Thank you for producing Settlers of Catan for the U.S. I was introduced to Settlers sometime during college (say 03 to 05ish), but never played. In fact, I would watch people play and then proceed to lose consciousness. My excuse to not play was that I didn’t know how. But then, finally one day (sometime last month), I said «EFF IT. I’m going to learn how to play!» And all was right in the world.
For those of you who know me, I don’t play a lot of games… card games, board games, or video games. (although, i’m trying to play more now) I try to avoid things that require hand-​eye coordination. (some of you have seen my sad sad sad guitar hero experience) Well, thank goodness Settlers doesn’t require that. I know many people who LOVE Settlers. I think I love it too. not LOVE, but love. And that’s saying a lot because it’s a strategy game.
Did I mention I have no strategies? In fact, I didn’t even know that I won once.
K, E, H: Game’s over.
Me: huh?
K, E, H: You won…
Me: No. I need two more. *counts my settlements and cities*. points. hmm i swear i had. oh well… WOOHOO~! I won!
You can buy other types of games here as well. Just go to the mayfair games website. It’s kind of expensive though. The fourth edition is out. $ 42, and other versions are out. also $ 42, but then there are expansions that are about $ 20, and so on and so forth. I don’t know how much board games cost nowadays. or back then. but damn… For now, I’ll just play when someone brings it.
Now who wants to lend me their guitar hero, so I can practice my hand-​eye coordination…
