Settlers of Catan

Settlers of Catan

A Poem by Drew Given
"

You know you play this game too much when...

"

O' come sit at my table,

brave settlers of Catan

and roll the dice to see

which hexes we are on


Place your settlements or your cities

Depending on the game

For playing with expansions

means nothing is the same


The pieces have been placed,

the order has been set

and for the next few hours

our friendships we forget


For the moment we are safe

from the barbarian black ship

so for just a few turns

our cities won't take a hit


So now the die are rolled

and the game of chance begins

and if you're poorly settled,

on luck your game depends


No trades are made to start

While resources are dear

Now is time to build the knights,

the barbarians are near


The first attack was no success,

your knights have thrown them back

But now rolling a seven

Will make the robber tact


The resources are now flowing

The players are settled in

When we roll the dice

The real Catan begins


Commodities are crucial

As is the colored die

And now come in the cards

That make you want to cry


The points are adding up,

the players are growing suspicious,

And now I'm going to play trade monopoly on wheat

You son of a b***h!

F**k

Okay, three ores and two wheats to build a city, and I'm going to play four books to get a utopia, and I win

Wait, I just realized I had longest trade route which means I should have won like three turns ago

You didn't say anything, that's your fault

Hold on, hold on. Can we talk about this?

No dude, I win. F**k off

Bro, I beat you, I just didn't know

Then you didn't beat me.

This doesn't count as a full win

What? That's stupid

No. If anything, we split the win.

That's fair.

Deal, then.

I have to go home.

Yeah, I'm going to bed. Next weekend?

Next weekend.

Someone loves monopoly a little to much haha. whole big interesting poem about a game haha.
I think its good to be competitive but not angry competitive after all its a game and its meant to be fun, not just about winning although yes winning is nice haha.

The start of this was like a poem for sure, but the end of it was just like two people talking, not sure if I liked the ending so much.
But this was very different I did enjoy it :)
Great write :)
