Re: PASTIMES: Someone tell me about Settlers of Catan

While not completlely predicated on luck, there's too much luck in Catan to really "dominate". It's similar to that-which-cannot-be-mentioned. And it's not hard to learn. I;'ve played it with lots of non-gamers, and they like it. Teach your family, it will be fun.

ok, well I suppose I phrased it poorly. I agree there's luck to the point where one can't "dominate," but there's a lot to be said about having a dominant strategy. and I think with a game like this, a guy like Patrick (as opposed to his in-laws) would definitely have a leg-up in this department.
edit: i was of course just offering this stuff as my opinion. Patrick, it's a fun game, so you should probably pick it up and try it out anyway.
