more on settlers

I didn't make this... But it's pretty awesome, huh?

This is for Liz and Dan and Liza and Carol and Jimmy and the Corpuses and Jill and Courtney and the many others of you who we've enjoyed a game of settlers with this past year.

A few Sundays ago we had our friends Dan and Eliza over for pancakes and settlers. They brought their new version: Cities and Knights and taught it to me. Much fun!

Garrett and I just got into a new game. We played it with some friends last weekend, and this past weekend some other friends bought it for us as a wedding present! It's called Carcassonne, and like Settlers, it's a winner of the German game award.

It's initially got the basic idea of dominos--you pick up an overturned square and have to fit it adjacent to other tiles already on the boards. Then you add little men to roads, cities, farms, and monestaries to rack up points.
And the board that forms is very cute. The dragon is from an extension we don't have. We have an extension that uses pigs. But we haven't figured out how to play it yet, because of course our directions are in Czech. We're not quite that fluent yet...
