Settlers of Catan

I just got finished with a game of Settlers of Catan. Which is a very popular German game where you have resources and you can trade them to the bank or to other players. Trading to the bank costs more than what you might be able to negotiate with the other players. There are development cards that let you do different things like have extra points, move the thief which don't let the player who is on that hex get the resource there and you get to steal a card from them, take two cards from the bank, build 2 free roads to extend your abilities to settle, or call a resource out and you get however many of that resource tat all players have. Your goal is to get the winning amount of points. You can get points by having settlements, cities, the longest road, or the largest army, or the special extra point card. If you have at least 5 roads and it is the longest, you get the longest road card. The largest army is if you have played the knight at least 3 times and you have the most of those. Anyways, our guests played with us and it was fun but the game took way too long. My dad was 1 point from winning so our gust called the game off and let my dad win. Everyone was getting a little fidgety anyways. That does indeed include myself though. It is pretty late. But it definitely was a pretty fun game.
