Let me tell you a about a little something that I fell in love with at Christmas and again this past weekend. Settlers of Catan is the board games of all board games. T got the original board game for Christmas from one of his brothers. We spent hours playing it at Christmas with his family. Then this past weekend for his birthday he got the player expansion and the Cities and Knights Expansion from that same generous brother (and no, it wasn’t the brother that spanked M).

This game takes a good long while to play (think Monopoly) and even a longer time to read all the instructions and understand how to play – but boy is it fun! If you have a weekend evening to kill and a few friends who love to play boards games, buy a bag of chips and a couple of 6 packs of beer and Settlers of Catan.

Oh and in case you are curious, the large box wrapped in unseasonal Christmas paper was my gift to my husband. I am such a good wife that I got him a mini fridge to put next to his computer. So this way when he is killing aliens or saving the world from zombies, he won’t have to run upstairs while regenerating to get a drink or snack. Now all he has to do is reach over and grab his sustenance to refuel himself. The world is safer because of my birthday gift to T, not  many wives can say that!
