They still make good board games you know

Do you play board games? They're certainly not as common or popular as they were before computer games came along, but there's still a hard core group of board game players out there and there are some amazing games to be had as well. One that I just recently found out about is Settlers of Catan. What makes this strategy game unique is that the 'map' is different every time you play it. Its mechanics are relatively simple, but its dynamics are quite complex. Nobody gets eliminated, and players who are behind tend to focus on whoever is in the lead, striving toward goals that are always within their reach.

It could become the next Monopoly or Risk.
