I probably won’t make this public for quite some time, I’ll be keeping it private until our plans have either totally failed or have been completed, which will mean this Christmas. I had the idea, after seeing a few sites online, about building our very own Settlers of Catan 3D game set to give away as Christmas gifts to our family. I can even make the boxes in my woodshop to store all the tiles. But the first step is to inventory what’s in a SOC game box. I’ve collected several of the expansions, so this inventory covers the standard Settlers of Catan box, the 5-6 player expansion box, Seafarers of Catan and its 5-6 player expansion box, as well as Das Buch. I may even add Cities and Knights of Catan if I can sneak it away from my inlaws without rousing suspicion.
Anyway, on with the inventory:
Each player (a total of 6) has:
4 Cities
5 Settlements
15 Roads
15 Ships

…that fill their houses with 70,000 beer cans. You’d think there would be a point where one would realize one’s habit was out of control. It is estimated that this Utard consumed 24 cans a day for 8 years to make such a big pile in his house. My question is this—where did he get the money? It sure wasn’t from recycling old beer cans.
Props to the Hippies team for winning the Amazing Race last night. Lorien was so worried they weren’t going to win, she was really rooting for them. I’m pretty happy with the outcome too.
