Curtis and Jane Lillie

Jane and Curtis have been in town visiting family this week (they live in Cal.), and they came over last night to visit and learn to play our new favorite game, Settlers of Catan. It's always good to see you guys! Thanks for coming over.

(Greg really isn't that much bigger than the rest of us. It's just that Kari took the photo and was standing too close to Greg.)

Playing Catan. It really is the best game. I think we got 'em hooked. Anyone else want to play?

I've never heard of the game, but count us in! =)

We are always looking for new games to play. We were just wondering where you picked it up at.
I was thinking of getting it for Derek for his b-day this weekend.
Thanks,
Janelle

Hey Janelle,

We had to buy it online. We got it on ebay, but I've heard some specialty game stores carry it. I think you'd like it (as would the rest of the family), and it has several other variations (Seafarers, Cities and Knights)that you can buy to change it up a little. Make sure you get the expansion pack, too, (it allows you to play with up to 6, rather than up to 4) if you buy the game. It's kind of on the spendy side for a game, just under $50, but we've already gotten our money's worth.
That'd be great if you could get all the AK family playing Catan. :)
