I *love* Settlers of Katan! Just started playing about a month ago with some new neighbors. I wish I was still able to go to the DevCon
:-( Guillotine is another fun card game too (2-4 players, 3 "rounds") fast and fun. will ---- William H.

Settlers of Katan (and its second level, Cities and Knights of Katan) is all about building settlements and cities and accumulating enough points to win the game before anyone else. The board consists of hexes that are either forest, field, mountains, wheat field, desert, or sea, and where you place your first settlement and city (you get one settlement, one city and two roads at the beginning of the game) may determine whether you win or lose. Each hex has a numbered counter on it, and the roll of the dice determines which hexes produce resources on each turn. You use resources in combination to build more roads, settlements and cities. It can be a lot of fun, and Michael is very good at building boards that are both fair and challenging. > > Carcassone is a game of luck and strategy. Everyone gets a certain amount of men, and the board consists of tiles that are chosen and put down to form a countryside. When you put down a piece, the terrain has to connect to what's around it, and you can then place a man on that piece (but you don't have to). Men can be robbers (on the road), farmers (on the fields), lords (they go in a castle), or Monks (they stay in the monasteries). Points are counted differently depending on where your man is placed. The game ends when all the pieces have been put down and the points are then tallied. > > Judith > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Candace Cottrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 10:15 AM > Subject: Re: Community Suite Games at DevCon - Judith > > > > Judith, > > > > Rook is a card game very similar to spades, but you use these > > proprietary cards. > > You bid, have trump, etc. > > > > I'd be happy to bring a deck if anyone is interested. > > > > And tell me more about the games you mentioned.
