Settlers of Catan... ???

That game is a lot like Civilization.
I think if you like Civ, you will like Catan.
That's sorta how I felt when I played the board game.

I agree with you on the cities & knights but seafarers was really not as good as all it really added was the ability to make islands and then it was the same thing as the original.

Exactly. I got rid of seafarers because every time I played I thought: "man, I could be playing Cities and Knights instead".

the game is racist.
why did the robber have to be black?

lol it's gray in the new ones.

Even with a group of experienced players, I don't like "rushing" through board games. Settlers will take 45-60 minutes simply due to the game mechanics. Last week, my group played through some Dominion (great game) and then a fun card game called Fluxx. Fluxx is HILARIOUS and can last anywhere from 5-60 minutes.

Ordered Fluxx (Monty Python and the Holy Grail edition). Sounds fun!

Yeah, we saw that on the box! We're getting that next. Sounds like Munchkin with all the crazy expansions...can't wait.
