Submarines of Catan?
Jan. 21st, 2013 10:07 pmYesterday we cashed in our gamestore gift certificate for Red November and Settlers of Catan. Yes, we actually didn't already have Settlers of Catan. Figured it was time to fix that.
Today we played two games of Settlers (we each won once; turns out pushing for cities early is amazingly useful) and one game of Red November (lost due to flooding and engine failure about 15 minutes before rescue). Good times. It occurs to me that they are excellent introductions to competitive resource management games and cooperative pseudo-RPGs, respectively, for new gamers.
