Serious question: What's the draw of a game that tries to appeal to people who want to "settle?" I hear about it enough that it must enjoy SOME popularity, but nothing about it seems the least compelling. So, what's it all about?

It's mostly a party game for when it's late out and you and some buds are in the woods. It's good for people who like making plans, doing trading or building stuff, dicking people over, or are just fans of Oregon Trail. Also it has a crap ton of expansions and offshoots, so people can have whatever they want.

It's a game where friendships are broken and life long rivalries are born.

Also, white is right.

>who's got wood for sheep?

Played this for the first time with my cousins on thanksgiving. We had 4 two person teams. It was pretty great, it got a little crazy when 7 got rolled like 5 times in a row and knight cards were being throw around.

Fellow homo or grill?

Also my family whenever we play that has a rule that everyone gives the 7 a card and the bandit doesnt exist on the map. Also we never play with the rule to discard half or whatever it is of your cards with a 7.

Also only noobs go for knight.

Holy shit. I mean, I'm never one to complain about casuals since I am one myself but that's on a whole different level.

Do you also remove the desert tile, or is it just useless? We typically use it to keep the bandit in before people start getting aggressive.

Yeah, but at least that made it impossible for people to screw each other over.
(except for road blocking)

No we use it.

It started with everyone paying protection money so no one moves the bandit outside the desert.
So through that it involved into a rule.

I condense four brick into a Wheat substitute and feed my knight. I move my knight token to kick the thief off my lands and steal something of your shit OP!

I prefer white if I can get it. Red second, then orange and lastly; blue. I actually rarely go for road/army, but if the game takes me there or the other players aren't focusing on one of them too much, I might attempt it.
