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.
-
Once. I won't be sad if I never play it again.
-
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!
-
Haven't played in a while but we love it!
-
@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
-
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.
-
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).
-
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
-
Yes. It's much more fun with 3-4 players or more though.
-
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.
-
@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
-
@sorrycharlie: lol no...I haven't either
