[quote]I’m a big German board game fan. From Settlers of Catan to Carcassonne to Terra Mystica, if your game has a stack of cardboard titles to punch out and Ziploc baggies of wooden cubes to play with, I’m ready to throw down. That said, I’ve never once desired to see any of these games turned into movies or TV shows. German board games aren’t about the story, they’re about mechanics. In fact they’re usually about relatively dull things, like building roads and creating trade networks. Well, the fact that The Settlers of Catan would make a terrible movie isn’t stopping somebody from trying! Gail Katz, who has previously produced movies like Air Force One and The Perfect Storm, has acquired the movie and TV rights to Settlers of Catan. Katz valiantly tried to make adapting Catan sound like a good idea…[/quote] [url]http://uproxx.com/gammasquad/2015/02/prepare-to-experience-the-drama-of-sheep-trading-in-settlers-of-catan-movie-and-tv-projects/[/url] And if you've never played this game before, you're a loser :v:
Guess I'm a loser then, I've never even heard of it.

Settlers of Catan is a great long term strategy game
Setters of Catan is great. There is no better feeling than being a sheep baron.
Even if you have played it you are a loser ((unless you are somehow not reading this off of facepunch))
I played Settlers of Catan once and hated every moment of it.
I like Settlers, but at least in my opinion, Carcassonne is so much more fun when it comes to strategy games.
How- wait I'm not even going to ask considering they pulled some ridiculous shit with battleship...

Do you Catan?
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;47181491]How- wait I'm not even going to ask considering they pulled some ridiculous shit with battleship...[/QUOTE] There's three ways they can go with this: Historical maritime fantasy - like Game of Thrones crossed with Boardwalk Empire but no dragons, swords or 1930s. Disaster movie - where the tiniest shift of the tablecloth rends the fragile island into pieces. Catan: or the 5 hours of Sodom - where three players are held hostage by the fourth and forced to engage in a painful ritual involving a long, grueling game where nobody can manage to roll anything but fucking sevens.
