When I learned that our fun friends the Gadds & the Coons from our old ward were coming up to play Settlers with us,I was super excited. As we all know, Ryan & I love playing games. We have Settlers, Seafarers, and Citites & Knights, but we didn't have the 5&6 player expansions for any of them. I got right on it and ordered myself all of the expansions. While I was online, I noticed another new Settlers Expansion I had never heard of.
I had to have it! I also had to have the 5&6 player expansions too. (boy they're tricky)
Last night when we went to set it up we were a little overwhelmed. Our board was almost as big as our table and there was sooooo much going on. We only used 2 of the like 10 varients from the new expansion and I was still overwhelemed. I really wish I had thought to take a picture so you could see just what I'm talking about. There were lakes, rivers, fish, camels, money, trade tokens, more cards, little wooden hunch-back men, and even a old boot.... This is too much! It took us 5 hours to finish our game. Has anyone else out there tried this new expansion? Have you found the love? or did Mayfair Games just take it one step too far?

I had a great time. Thanks for coming up to play guys. Joe - the first win is free, but don't get used to it. Next time I'll give you some competition.
I used to have a Settlers game.....
Hmm... I wonder what could have happened to that...?
We had a great time! And Parker will probably take awesome naps all week to make up for going to bed after midnight! I think that with 4 players, the new expansion might be a bit more do-able. And with less chatter...I'm pretty sure I was more into our conversation than the game. That's the real reason it took 5 hours! It really was fun, though...I'd do it again!
Ditto on Robyn's comment. I guess we need a night to just hang out and chat! It was a lot of fun though, thanks for having us!
You are your expansion packs! I still remember the day that Kent and I sat down to learn the game with you and Ryan and just when we thought we had it down, you would whip out another expansion! It was crazy, but fun.
