Drinkers of Catan Take a shot every time you're stolen from and every time you have to discard half your cards because a 7 was rolled. Play to 5, 7, or 10 depending on your tolerance. It is a rare group that can finish a game to 10. (there are weaker variants too... like take a drink on steals, discards, 6s, 8s, 2s, and 12s and stuff like that.) | ||

Let alone steals. On January 04 2010 13:36 Cambium wrote: Yea it's an awesome game. I used to play it during lunchtime at work. As well, it doesn't get as heated as Monopoly or Risk (I guess the level of hostility is proportion to game duration), which is always good. How long is your lunch break? Maybe my friends just take too much time deciding what to do, but settlers generally drag on fairly long for me in person. Risk is actually really fast-paced if players know what they are doing, too. | ||

I just played it for 9 hours. And I have no idea why, once you have the slightest clue of starting positions the game is all dice. | ||

Risk is actually really fast-paced if players know what they are doing, too. it's weaker because you're just taking a drink, not taking a shot. also, 6s 8s 2s and 12s are socials in this variant, whereas the hardcore version is just whoever gets stolen from and whoever discards. | ||

If you get into a competition it sucks up so many resources Better to just go fishing for d-cards How is Risk a fast game? Setting up the board takes half an hour alone <> | ||

Unfortunately, I hate playing offline now because everyone takes so long. I finish my games in <10 minutes online if you have fast players or bots. | ||

Setting up the board takes half an hour alone <> don't play risk letting people pick territories... deal out the risk cards instead (then recollect). it's much more balanced, especially for 5 and 6 players and placement goes super quick after that. | ||

Some addons are better than others... Also, it's a personal preference. I agree with Chill, but some of my SOC friends prefer to play with addons. | ||

I do the a-z method, while a friend does the shuffle method...i feel like the shuffling method leads to a slower, more relaxed game, while everything is worked out to a science with choosing spots based on where the desert is. | ||
