Settlers of Catan
Damn I lost again last week. I pick the perfect locations based on the terrain and numbers, knowing that the most probable numbers will be rolled and I can have the advantage. Of course being in the right place is only half the equation. I once again was cut off from the resources needed and floundered as the dice never rolled an 8 (OK twice). Aggravating.But not all was lost, I did bring snacks, bread cheese, wine, and cookies as I was trying to appease the game gods. I was able to consume most of a bottle of wine and the cheese and the bread before the game had ended. Lots of fun.
Akis (my Greek office mate) and I have vowed to team up in the next game against Florian (Austrian) and Thorston (German) in the next game.
I will only bring a half bottle of wine, because they drink beer. Maybe then I will be able to WIN.
