Settlers of Catan


Our trip was just over two weeks long. We had it packed full of natural beauty in 3 countries. Yet SOMEHOW we managed to fit in 11 games of Catan; what can I say, it’s just that fun… Final scores: Joel- 4 wins, Los-3, Case and Cara- 2. It sounds silly, but I had never thought of having a strategy until I played Joel Flory; man, did he teach me a thing or five, I will never be the same!

You know you’re a diehard when: the lights at one of our ghetto places turned off at midnight; so the Flory’s busted out their head lamps (awesome, I want one) and we collected candles, so we could play in the dark until 1:30 in our room. We rearranged our furniture and everything to make space for a table and chairs in that teeny room. Hard core. I will chuckle every time I pull that sweet memory out of my memory bank. I would share more, but those details are Joel’s to share if he so inclines. Good times, they make me smile.

and p.s. Los and I have played the 6 person version twice now, can I just say I love open-trading and building! Revolutionary! I will never be the same. Okay, enough geekiness...
