TableTop Episode II: The Settlers of Catan! Have you Got Wood?
April 20, 2012 by brennon
Anyone who has played the game will be familiar with the phrase that introduces this game and indeed this episode of TableTop from Wil Wheaton. This time, the "Don't be a Dick'' mogul is playing The Settlers of Catan, a masterful game to introduce your non-gaming buddies to our world.
The game takes you players on a journey to become the conquerors of the island of Catan. While not the most in-depth game its inadvertently funny (anyone who has watched this season of Big Bang Theory will know why...) and involves a lot of player to player interaction. It's also not about goblins and dwarves so it's not going to freak out your mates!
So watch and enjoy the world of Catan and see what you think of this game. You might even end up picking it up and sharing the enjoyment during the holiday season rather than playing bloody Monopoly again!
You can even learn to play variations of Catan on the website here.
Enjoy folks!

Not to be confused with Settlers of C’tan, where you place Monoliths and every time you roll a seven a big green git with a massive choppa takes your last bit of metal…
Nor indeed with the game Settlers of Cat where you have to try and give the moggy an antacid.
Very enjoyable way to show off a game.
Missed the first one. (Even though I subscribed. 🙁 )
This one disappeared off the laptop half way through!?
Loving the series… must stop the urge to buy these games!
I can’t really say I’m a fan of Settlers. It’s better than Agricola, but only just. Of course, by “better” I mean “not quite as much about farming.” How I loath farming games.
I have to say this series wouldn’t work half as well if it wasn’t for the great overlays and animations breaking everything down simply
I love this game…
I’ve sculpted 3D tiles myself ! They’re on Terrainarama, as a matter of fact.

I absolutely love Settlers of Catan. In my Country, ehrer it was invented, there are tons of expansions and scenarios made for this game. I often met with my freinds to play Catan.
I absolutely recommand to try this out.
Not the winner i suspected and definitely not sure how he got largest army instead of jane.

What am I doing? I’m watching others play when I could be playing!
It’s like plastic porn isn’t it!
It’s a really good way of showcasing games imho
