Just played settlers last night. Wife had 8pts and we knew she was holding a point in hand had two soldiers up, and we figured one of the 3 development cards she had was a soldier. On her turn she made a big deal about another couple we know that from the start of this game make lucrative trades throughout game so his wife can win. She figured if i made a lucrative trade with her son so he could make two roads and take her longest road away that would be cheating, i was throwing the game. NOT, she was at 8pts i was at 6pts her daughter was at 5pts and her son was at 4pts. As it turned out i got a lot of resources during the next few turns after hers and this big deal she was making. Her son played before her, he drew his only resource on his turn a rock. I traded her son 2 brick and 2 wood for the rock. CHEATER CHEATERS was the response and lots of negativity was the result. We lasted one more round before she won any way, but the result was her daughter ended up cheating, some how acquiring a road of her mothers and laying it down on her road so that she could regain longest road. Her son was willing to trade anything she wanted, as i was, just to end the game. Settlers is on game dropped from my top ten, if BGG ever fires up again, and i will not recommend this game ever. Recommended from your list is Hunters and Gatherers (cause wife likes it) and Ticket to ride, yet to have a problem in that game, people seem to accept being cut off from their destination as there is usually another rout to complete ticket.
