Settlers of Catan
Dec. 29th, 2006 10:57 pmI've played a lot of Settlers of Catan. I mean, I've played a lot of Settlers. When I'm playing with Ian, we can complete a two-player game in less than a half-hour. We sometimes even place our original settlements before we put down the numbers, just to add an extra element of difficulty to the game.
This past Wednesday, I was at Rob's Yule party playing Settlers. I managed to emerge from an underdog position (3 points while everyone else was at 5-6, and poorly placed to expand) to win the six-person game with a margin of about two points above my nearest opponent. It was a come-from-behind win, but nevertheless I came, I saw, and I conquered.
I thought some of my readers might be interested in my Settlers of Catan strategy. And others might think this entire post is a useless waste of bandwidth. So, if you're interested in reading How I Do It, click on the lj-cut. And if you're not, then feel free to skip lightly over.

So. That's how I play Settlers, in a nutshell. Consider yourselves informed and enlightened. If there's anything I missed, or any questions left unanswered, let me know. Happy playing.
