Strong Buy: Settlers of Catan

If you have any interest in board games you should purchase the above award winning German import. Coming home for the weekend secured me a forgiving crowd, which I thought I would need for a first go around with this "Monopoly Killer". As it turns out S of C would have easily won over tougher group, and presumably supplied them with an equally rousing time.
I had come across the game before, but this Wired article deserves all the credit for forcing my hand. The only downside is that without the expansion pack play is limited to a max of four players.
