You just can't have a boardgame manga without Catan in it.

I played the game once while at an acquaintance's place. He and one of my friends were familiar with the game, but the rest of us had no clue what we were doing. I remember having barely any points at the end. I got pretty decent at Globopolis, though. Don't remember much about it other than Namibia, though.

You're not old.
I was around when Cosmic Encounter came out.
That one upset me at the time because it lured my fellow heavy wargamers to the light (weight) side.

I remember buying it, when it first came out here in . First Boardgame I ever bought with my own money too.




great, now I feel old again. ?

I was really disappointed that the trading example on page 16 didn't have the right resources for me to make that joke.
It's been ages since I last played Catan, but I still regularly see it on the table at board game meetups.

Truly a classic, although these days I play Archipelago more often.
Still, what other game lets you ask people if they have wood for sheep?
