win a game of Settlers of Catan

With good numbers on wheat and ore, a 2 for 1 wheat port, 2 lucky draws of victory point cards, 2 cities, 2 settlements, and longest road, I was the first one to 10 points last night! I declared at the beginning of the game that it was my night to win and finish this goal, so maybe luck was with me; however, it was a close game.

I decided to revise my goal from playing Catan to winning Catan. We play Catan quite often, but it has been a while since I won a game. I think it is about time.

This game has everything. We have been playing this game for 5 years and I love it. It has enough complexity to make it interesting and it changes a little every time. It is easy to learn and instantly addicting, especially after you taste your first victory! It is a strategy game, which tends to be a “guy” thing, but we’ve found that most of our friends love this game once they try it. Even though we’ve been playing this game for years, it will stay on my list as something I always want to do.
