I just bought it for DH. Is it really as fun as I've heard? Is it just as fun with only two players?

We've played it as a family. I liked it alright. If I remember right it's a long game! Or maybe I'm thinking of risk.

Love it! @anonysquire: i think Risk is the more serious one. Settlers is an "intro game" apparently! I've never played it with just two people, but i'm sure it's still fun.

yessssss. settlers is so awesome. i think it's more fun if you have more people, though...i've always played with 4 or more.

I haven't, but I walked in a group of people playing it and heard, "anyone have wood for sheep?" and was like WTF? haha.

I used to play it at my friend's house with her family when I was in middle school. I loved it! I think I used to play with just my friend but most of the time we also had her brother and/or her mom playing. From what I remember it took a bit of time to get used to all the information (rules and such) but I remember loving it.

I love Settlers of Catan! I agree that it's more fun with more people.

Yep! We have Catan nights at a friend's house once a month or so, when we all get together and play/drink. It's fun! I don't take it too seriously, so I like never win

We're a Settlers of Catan family. DH used to play it with his friends all the time. We were gifted it for our wedding!

@MrsCB: hahahaa...
YES!! one of my favorite games! I play it with my brothers whenever I go over to my parents house. It's fun with at least 3 players but more like 4-6.

that's a great game...especially when you have friends over. I've never played with only 2 players though...always 4.

OMG. That game was on Parks and Recreation, the episode with the bachelor/bachelorette parties, because Ben wants to play that at his bachelor party.
I totally thought it was a made up game!!

It's a fun game but more fun with more ppl... I has some friends who took it way too seriously and it kind of turned me off of it. But yes I have played it waaay too many times!

We like Settlers, but have never played it with only two people. We like Ticket to Ride for a two player game.

@LemonLong: ohhh I heard ticket to ride wash good game.
Settlers is pretty fun but I've never played with just two people.

I am obsessed with it!! We get super competitive and use the expansion pack to play with a bunch of friends
It's really fun!!

Love settlers of catan! But for a 2-player game we play carcassonne, which is very similar to catan.

Love settlers and all the expansions. It isn't quite as much fun with two people but it is doable.

It's fun. You need over 2 people unless you use modified rules (you can find them online) or you have the Traders and Barbarians expansion. We've played it with the expansion and had fun with 2 players.

I can't remember if I've played or just watched other people play, but my favorite games are cooperative (e.g. Pandemic). The two-player games we have are Carcassonne, Dominion, and Race for the Galaxy. Carcassonne is easier to figure out than the other two, but still quite fun.

YES! Our group of friends just started playing last month, but are already fairly obsessed with it. Clue #1 you are getting old --> you stay up later playing board games than on bar nights
hostess / eggplant / 11068 posts
I've played! It's fun when someone in the group knows what they're doing.

We have it and I love it! I am really bad at it but I still have fun! lol. If we aren't playing that we are playing Munchkin... which is impossible to beat me at.

It's one of my favourite games. Whenever it's my turn to pick a board game, that's my go-to! It's not long to play, only about an hour. I didn't think you could play with 2 players cause it involves trading and you just wouldn't trade with the other person. Maybe there are adaptations to the rules.
At any rate, I highly recommend it!!
@chanzi: you like a lot of the same games we do! Dominion is awesome and we can't get enough of Pandemic these days. It is a great cooperative game. Really good for families who need a break from being super competitive all the time.
pomelo / 5866 posts
Yes i played some. Even stayed up playing til 4 am a few years ago on New Year's Eve.

it is awesome, one of my favorites. i think it's most fun with 4 people (or 6 if you do the expansion set).
pomelo / 5789 posts
Its fun but I thought it was only 3+ players.
Transeuropa, 10 days in the USA, ticket to ride, and dominion are all good 2 player games.

That's one of my husband's favorite games! I really like it too. Its a long game but you can play with just 2 people if you buy an expansion. For just playing the main one its a 3 + game

Great game and so much fun to play with others. I would always get so close to winning until the very end when everyone else would catch up.

It's fun but have to agree with the others that you have better flow if there is more people.
pomelo / 5093 posts
@cookie_dough: Same! You can't play settlers 2 player out of the box - you need special rules, and it's a little silly. Carcassonne is the best ever two player game.

Am I the only one who has never heard of this game?? Lol
