What Life Would be like without Settlers

Friday night we went to Sembawang to hang out with Jeff and Tenley who live out there. We went to a nice restaurant on the straits where you can see Malaysia across the water (they live REALLY far from us!). It was a totally enjoyable dinner - great people, great discussion and great food. Then we went home and were in bed by 11.

Saturday we watched the Pistons lose (it was on live here).

Then I went to the market, cleaned the house, Matt looked at our taxes (that are still not done...), I went to see Sex and the City with two friends, Matt went to play basketball, then I came back and made dinner. Two friends, Peter and Justin came over, we ate good green Thai curry, veg stir fry and then they went home at 9, and we were in bed by 10.

That's what our life would be like WITHOUT Settlers. Now...reality is that we went back to Jeff and Tenley (and Koa and Kismet's) house and played Purto Rico and then Settlers, and we didn't get home until after two. Last night Peter, Justin and me and Matt (incorrect grammar...) played Settlers, and then Maria came over to play too. Again - in bed by two.

Might be pathetic to play board games two nights in a row on a weekend, but the reality is that life is just better with Settlers, and I would be happy and not pathetic to play everyday of every week.

"It's a Wonderful Life" remake for Settlers, right?

My overall well-being has increased exponentially since you introduced Settlers into my life. Thank you, oh clever one.

That's why we are teaching Settlers to all of our friends around the world. It's a global effort. Just like the Mormons.

You should really go to "The Geek" and check out all the cool games. Not to say that Settlers isn't awesome (it's a quality game), but there are so many that are out there. Anyway, two thumbs up for your post - I'd play games every night if I could!
