Let the Games Begin
After reading James Robertson’s blog about these new-fangled board games, and most recently Martin Fowler, I decided to have a go. After talking to Martin about it, I picked up a copy of Settlers of Catan today (interestingly the manufacturer of the English version, Mayfair Games, is a short drive from my hotel in Skokie IL). I expect/hope to play a few games over the weekend.
So far I’m impressed. The materials and construction look great… wooden pieces (including dice) and nice heavy board tiles.
