Catan

Hello and welcome to Beer’d Gamers! We’re still a podcast, we still play board games, and we still do it while trying to drink as many beers as we can. My name is Nelson, and with my today are my fellow Beer’d Gamers, Teej and Schnell! This week we’re playing Settlers of Catan, or just Catan, depending on when you started playing and what version you have.

Catan is the godfather of all worker placement games, and what we in the biz like to call the “gateway game.” Chances are that when you moved on to harder and more illicit games, Catan was the game that spurred you on. And if you haven’t made the move yet, find a friend who has a copy, make sure no cops are around, and pack yourself a table full of Catan.
