German Board Games

German Board Games

About a month ago i read the article Monopoly Killer in the April 2009 issue of Wired magazine. In which i learned of the so called German obsession with board games and further of one of the greatest board games ever created, "The Settlers of Catan." Needless to say i had to play it. So when i saw my friend martin next i asked him about board games and if we could play some sometime. He was very for it and later that evening took both Kristen and I to a local bar to play some board games. Yes, you read that correctly, a bar. This bar was a "sports and games bar" and true to form had a big screen and a handful of flat screen TVs with soccer constantly playing. There were also three really nice, tournament grade Kicker (fuse ball) tables, a few pool tables and two floor to ceiling shelves packed full of just about every board game known to man!
