Pimp my Board Game
October 4, 2007 | Posted by Jen
We like to play German games. Also called designer games or hobby games, German games involve more logic and strategy than traditional party games like Monopoly, Life or Pictionary, which depend more on luck than strategy. We try to get together with friends at least once a month or so to play games like Settlers of Catan, Carcossonne, San Juan, Babel, Alhambra, but sometimes it can be hard to find other people to play with. It is nice to know that there are others out there in cyberspace playing these games and even people who are doing a little DIY board game design and “pimping their German games”.

ooh! I was introduced to Settlers of Catan during my holidays in August. I met up with a uni friend who now works at a comic shop handling all the board games there, and he invited us over to play one night. We had SO much fun with Catan that we’re talking about buying our own set.
You should totally buy it! These kinds of games are a little more expensive since they are specialty games, but they are also usually well made and will last a lifetime.
The only problem we have with Settlers is finding the right number of people to play with.
