So I think I mentioned in a previous post that I got my housemates to play the board game I brought with me? I lied. I was embarrassed that I brought this stupid game all the way across the world and couldn't find a SINGLE person who would play with me.
Well last night there was a bit of an incident in town, and my security team wouldn't let us go to Salsa Night. Oh no! What can we do to entertain ourselves all evening? Settlers of Catan!!! The game is like a combination of Risk and Monopoly and we had a nice group of 5 play. All were new except for me, and I assumed my victory was certain since there is a rather steep learning curve.
Unfortunately, I did not take into consideration that I was playing against 1. a renowned international trade economist and 2. an amazing agricultural trade economist. Oops. Number 2 won pretty quickly.
I don't think anyone was hooked, and I bet we don't play again while I am here, but at least I wasn't embarrassed when everyone was bored silly after I have talked it up for the past month.
