The game: The Settlers of Catan
is a board game, a grown-up board game actually, about getting lots of resources. you use them to buy and build things, and then you win by getting 10 points or more.
How to play: First off you pick your color. Then you set up the board. And then we put 2 roads and two houses on, and you get to start with a few of the cards. Also you have a little square card that tells you what you need to build or buy something. It’s pretty fun. Somebody rolls the dice, if they get 7 and you have more than 7 you have to put half back in the bank. If you roll a different number and you have a house or city on it, then your houses get you one card of that type and cities get you two. It’s pretty easy and pretty fun. Once you get cards you buy stuff with them by putting them back in the bank. The cards are wood, rocks, bricks, sheep, and wheat. If you get enough you can buy a development card if you want, or else you can buy houses, roads, and cities. Really fun. Oh, and this is how it is, if I have two wheat and my mommy wants one she can give me the stone I need and I can give her a wheat and then I can buy a development card. So trading is pretty cool. When you give 4 of the same things back to the bank you can get whatever you need. I got the longest road and the biggest army and a market victory card and 1 city and 3 houses, so I won.
What I like best: I got to be red and also I won
What I like least: That mom lost, but it’s just for fun
What is hard: First I started with no soldiers and I didn’t know if I would get any when I wanted them
What is easy: Setting up the houses was very easy
How much I liked it: It is twenty-hundred and fifty-nine percent excellent
