Members hi.flyer Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settlers_of_Catan Anybody else play this? It's kinda dorky but I've been digging on it alot lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nuts Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Great game. I want to try it with the combined board, but every time my friends and I get together to play, there's too many people and we have to have two games going at once. It usually takes just the right amount of time to play a game of Settlers. Never too long, never too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zachoff Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Risk is my favorite board game of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members collinwho Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 I've heard it is a great game. I haven't played it, yet, but I believe that the plan tonight is to give it a shot, so I will probably have more of a personal opinion tomorrow.

Members Super_Donut_Man Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 That is a great game. I am a fan of Risk, and Axis and Allies (although it takes WAY to long to setup, and a huge time commitment) I wish my friends still played D&D... damnit I am a nerd:facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 I've heard good things baout Settlers, just never played it. My friends and I play Diplomacy every now and again, and I'm doing an email game of it now. We also play DnD from time to time, so you;re in good (dorky) company We're actually switching to Pathfinder, from Paizo publishing, as "official" DnD released a new edition, and it sucks bawlz.

Moderators Kindness Posted June 3, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2009 Axis and Allies (although it takes WAY to long to setup, and a huge time commitment) I used to play in tournaments with expanded rule sets, probably about 500 pages of expanded rules, pieces, etc. That was the nerdiest of all.

I can't even imagine that. My friends and I played for about 18 hours (12 was with no interruption) on one game. We pretty much decided to quit because we all started to hate eachother and spent numerous hours debating and arguing some of the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't imagine... Back when I played Risk a lot I was also stoned most of the time. Axis & Allies always took too long. Now I play Risk on the computer.

Members Boosterbleep Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Catan is available as download on Xbox Live for the 360. I have played it and its a good bit of fun. Solo is good for learning and multiplayer can be as easy or hard as the opposition. A good game no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to be a lawyer to be good at that one.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Squad_Leader Awesome. Anything where rule based strategy is involved, is right up my alley. I didn't know it at the time, but I can now see the obvious transition from uber-geek gamer to patent lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was smart, or something, because I could understand how this game worked. When I started getting matched up with other players I found out first hand how knowing every single subsection and obscure rule could give even a mediocre player a huge edge. In the end I just couldn't keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
