monkey nonsense

i FINALLY WON a game of settlers of catan!!

i must admit the game is quite nerdy, perhaps that is why i didn’t do well at it. because i’m too coooooool for it

so really quick… settlers is a game where you have settlements, roads, and cities. you collect wood, brick, sheep, ore, and wheat to build your things with. the board of the game is modular (composed of a bunch of hexagon pieces, representing the different resources, that can be arranged in different ways) with numberings that change position each game too so there’s a bunch of luck (roll of dice) involved, but also some strategy. anyone who knows me knows i hate thinking (common things yelled during a game “don’t think, just do!!”)… but somehow, for this game, it seems ok to think. (games are about the only time thinking is acceptable)

i’ve played approximately 981958198397985719891 8793195 times since being introduced to it. i had games where i had TWO points total (note to those unfamilar with the game: you start with 2 points). for the longest time, while everyone was all competitive with 8-9 points a game (first to 10 wins), i hovered around 3… maybe 5 points. i had a win in hand when i was ROBBED by may and in my stupidity to protect another card, my victory was STOLEN by julie. but tonight, i finally won!! … who cares if it was “just” against 3 others.

this ranks right up there with my best day of my life so far! … no, not quite. but pretty fun. i recommend the game, even to people who hate thinking like myself. anyone up for seafarers? i want to buy it and try it!!
