Settlers-a Night of History

Jeremy has been playing a game, Settlers of Catan, since we were first married 5 years ago.  I once tried to play the game with him, his brother and a friend of ours.  It was a train wreck with a capital T.  The boys already knew how to play and it was a highly competitive game between the 3 of them.  As you can imagine, I didn't do very well and decided it probably wasn't the best game for me.

Fast forward, 4 years.  Present day.  Jeremy recently purchased Settlers of Catan, the card game.  It's a 2 player game that is similar to the board game.  Since it's hard for him to get together with 2 or 3 other guys to play, I decided to give this game a go.

After 2 games of defeat, I decided to up my game a bit.  And wouldn't you know, last night we need to write in history; I BEAT him at his own game.  It was glorious.  So glorious, I want to play again tonight.

This might be the first time, I've given him a run for his money at any game.  He usually slaughters me at anything we do together...except Phase 10, which we don't play anymore.

I'm so inspired, I want to play him in basketball.  Yeah right...who am I kidding?

I love Settlers of Catan, however when I play my Jeremy, I usually lose too. :-( I'll have to try the card game.
