FHE Activity

Last night I wanted to do something fun. So instead of going to bed early and getting up early to do homework, we made up a game using the elements of Settlers of Catan--one of our new favorite games. The game is designed to be a 3-4 player game we changed it up a bit and attempted to make a fun 2 player version.. and it worked. We played two games each with different rules.


We used the tiles from both Settlers of Catan and the expansion game Seafarers of Catan to create our boards, we also used a dresser drawer to create a nice space to lay out the pieces (since we have no table in our apartment bigger than a dinner plate)

The Rules: We each had a side of the board and we raced to the other side of the board to one of two gold tiles (where a house is worth 2 pts instead of 1). The first game we used the robber as a blocker, hindering road building on the tiles he touched. The fun was that we discovered the land--i.e. flipped tiles--as we progressed, and could cut off the other with our roads. In both games the winner was named at 10 points.
