Philly Campus ? Settlers of Catan

I?m not really into board games, personally.? I might play one with family or friends every once in a while, but not on a regular basis.

Then Meg Hoover bought Settlers of Catan for MCPC students.

At the very least, once a week, people will be playing Settlers of Catan at MCPC.? This is a game that is really easy to pick up and play.? And thanks to this game, I believe that students at the Philadelphia Campus have been able to grow closer together.? Someone will eventually take a break and want to play some SoC.? All it takes is one person to say, ?Anyone want to play Settlers??

The game is designed to be played off of both skill and luck.? Each player starts off with two settlements and two roads, and will try to build their communities until they get 10 points.? Each settlement is worth 1 point, each city is worth 2, and so on.? It takes skill to know where to place your initial settlements and where to build future settlements and cities.? But a roll of the dice determines the resources you get to build with.? It can be anyone?s game.

I couldn't find any pictures with a girl playing yet... but trust me, there are.

The games last for over an hour each, so playing multiple games would be out of the question in most circumstances.? But the hilarity that ensues during these longs games is always sure to put smiles on everyone?s face (even for those who watch us play).
