MAGE

Yeah… Yeah… I know I missed last week. But that means more for you oh lucky MAGE peeps.

So then First up is ZIGZAG!

This is an awsome mix of connect four and chess. Obscenely simply to learn and quite fun. Basically the idea is to connect your four little peices of the board. However, to do so you can only move down your own lines, which is where the fun starts as your opponent will be working to block your ability to do so while trying to win themselves. MAGE has a copy of this game so feel free to play.
Average Play Time: 10 minutes to 30 minutes

Players: 2

Now for the game from this week! SETTLERS OF CATAN

One of the greatest strategy games of the last 50 years, settlers is a highly strategic game played on a modular board where players strive against each other while creating their own civilization. Ironically, while you can’t attack in the game, it is still highly competive where deals between players for resources and tempory alliances are normal.

All in all the game is simply great fun. MAGE owns a copy of this game so feel free to play the game.

Average Play Time: 30 minutes to 1.5 hours
Players: 3-4
