We finally got around to playing Settlers of Catan with four people, and I found it to be rather long and boring. With a lot of downtime between your turns. I also had a couple of games of Memoir ’44 last weekend, and that was a lot of fun. Looking forward to more games of that.
In work news, our yearly inventory is finally over, and it apparently went well. We sure put enough work into it, and I’m glad it’s done. Next thing to look forward to after some long weekends are my holidays! Can’t wait. Even if I have no plans, it’s just nice to be off.
Did you play with the 5-6 player expansion?
Once you get up to 4 players the board is really cramped making it much less fun.
No, it was just with the base game. I think it was mostly the downtime between turns that made it less fun for me, though. The game itself wasn’t bad. It probably won’t end up having as much playtime as I expected it might, but at least I have other games that we enjoy more :)
I understand that — my favorite board games are the co-operative play games like Pandemic.
