Elliott is a die-hard Settlers of Catan fan. Such a big fan, in fact, that he gave the game to his closest friends as a groomsmen’s gift for our wedding. Since our wedding, his groomsmen Lewis has been very busy falling in love, getting married, renovating a beautiful home, and adopting an amazing Rottweiler named Wiley. Needless to say, he and his wife Bekah haven’t had time to take the plastic off their Settlers of Catan.
We remedied that this weekend.
An explanation of the rules was required. They are confusing.
But Lewis and Bekah caught on amazingly quickly. We were soon embroiled in a very evenly matched game.
With lots of laughter over wine and memories. And puns.
The game went on and I built towers with my game pieces. (Meanwhile, Lewis and Bekah ran out of pieces in their battle for the longest road. Their roads were each 10-11 segments long!)
And then I won! Do you hear that, Garber family? I won for the second time in my life! A surprise ending to a fantastic night. Planning for our next Settlers game night is already in the works.
