There is history. I do not play anymore... except when drunk or high... and even then only with much convincing.

If you want a fun and hilarious car related game, go download the open source, free mini game GasoSta...you'll see why it's hilarious quickly. :P

There is a subset of my friend group who are such brutal, ruthless, competitive Catan players that all fun has been sapped from the game for me. I am not the win-at-all-costs, mega-strategy player this subset is made up of, and I made the mistake of playing too many games with them. I have some wicked PTCS (post traumatic catan syndrome). I see those he xagons and I go straight to cupcake-flashback-dog land.

Lol, as one of those super competitive Catan players, I can appreciate this. My Dad would play with us and he didn’t give two shits about winning and would make some crazy trades and build places just to piss is off, it was great fun. It drove a couple of us nuts because we’d sacrifice something to block someone from winning and then when it got to his turn he’d just trade away and gain them anything we were attempting to keep out of their hands. Good times. We all had fun though. Taught us how to not be so serious about it.

Is it a total copy of Catan, or are their differences? I play on the Catan iPhone app. But it’s been a while.

i’ve never played on the iphone but its slightly different than the board game. some of the maps are much bigger. Some have water so you can build ships. There are also those brown and blue tiles where you get to pick whatever you want. When ever you build a road or boat to one of the white tiles, they flip over and you get 1 card for what ever the type is. It all makes the game move along a lot faster

These people of mine know nothing of “how to not be so serious about it”. Basically they are the only ones left in the group who play, as everyone else has been alienated and or traumatized at their hands. One of them (the traumatized) burned thei r Catan set.

Yeah. The Catan expansions do that as well, sounds like a bit of seafarers mixed in. The iPhone app has cities and knights maps and games as well. And you can setup games with higher points limits, makes it interesting.

Holy cow! That’s awful. Games are no fun if no one wants to play. That’s one thing about this self quarantine time, is the amount of board games we’ve been playing with our kids. Our 6 and 7 year olds are finally to an age where we can play some fun games with a bit of strategy. Heck, couple nights ago we were playing the kid version of ticket to ride and my 7 yo worked out two times where he could sneak build his tickets to a point where one connection got him two tickets at a time. So sneaky and I was so proud. I look forward to when we can get into some of the higher level games. Hopefully we can keep it civil. Sorry to hear about your friends ruining the game for you and some of your other friends.
