Settlers of Catan Game
Recently I read an article about the Green Bay Packers having a board game night in addition to normal practices and studying others play. This has had a huge effect on the city of Green Bay.
But they have managed to squeeze in a highly competitive board game night. They play a game called "Settlers of Catan". Everyone is addicted to the game, probably also because there is nothing much else to do in Green Bay, the NFL's smallest city. The game gets so competitive that when new players join, nobody tells them any rules, and they get screwed because they don't know how to play.
The quarterback mentioned it in passing on the news, and suddenly everybody was calling the store to see if they could get a set. I think it is crazy how much people obsess over what their city's football team is doing. The Packers’ embrace of the game become such a phenomenon that the store put a sign up that said “Be cool like Justin Perillo, play Catan!”
I think that we should also get this game, because it sounds like it is pretty fun!
