Settlers of Catan
Settlers of Catan | Rebecca Gable
4 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
The year is 850. In the seas of northern Europe, the small coastal village of Elasund falls prey to marauding neighbors. Their food stores pillaged, women and children stolen, livestock destroyed, the villagers are left to barely survive the harsh winter and contemplate a drastic solution to their recurring hardships: leaving the only village they have ever known. Foster brothers Candamir and Osmund lead their people on an epic quest to a mythic island home, but without knowledge of exactly where the island is, they must trust the gods to deliver them safely. Lost at sea and set adrift, an extraordinarily violent storm washes them ashore the island famed in pagan lore: Catan. They quickly set about building a new society but old grudges, animosities, and social orders lead to fraternal strife. As the ideals of Candamir s Christian slave spread throughout the village and conflict with pagan law, the two belief systems clash. When both Osmund and Candamir fall in love with Siglind, the mysterious queen of the Cold Islands, things come to a head. Based on the wildly popular board game of the same name designed by Klaus Teuber, Rebecca Gable s The Settlers of Catan is a must-read adventure rich in detail and rippling with intensity."

#AdelesMayMashUp #GamesYouPlay I think I've mentioned my literal mind in previous posts...

Here are the games we played most often with our kids. Razoo was always hilarious when the kids played it with the passing parade of exchange students some close friends brought into our lives. It became a ritual. Settlers of Catan is a family favourite.

jhod Love settlers of catan!! 7y
FlowerFairy We love settlers of Catan! Carcassonne is another family favorite. 7y
vkois88 I've never played, but sounds fun! 7y
CarolynM @FlowerFairy We gave up Carcassonne because our son, who was about 12 at the time, would completely humiliate us in every game, usually with his last turn! 7y

Had some non book related fun with the family playing Catan. Sometimes I get distracted and make little people with the pieces.

Now it‘s time to start a new book and head to bed. But which book to read?
Hmmmmm...
