One time I won a game while I was asleep.

We were buying a car, and I was so stressed that my body responded by making me sleepy instead of panicking.

I would nod off, rouse on my turn, make my play, then start nodding off.

It was my wife that noticed I had filled the win conditions after I dropped my cards, snoring a little.

Buying a car seems like a weird time to start playing Catan but a fair way to negotiate on terms with the dealership

Mulaney Power Move: Dec 30, 2004

This game caused drama in grad school.

I forget who started playing it. I know at least three different people had their own sets. We would play the 6 player version.

This one couple would host games on most weekends - they had a nice house - and we'd drink and smoke and it was cool. They were way too competitive, though, and would practically rig the game by the way they traded with each other. That's not really cheating, though, I guess.

It came to a head during a camping trip when it was clear they were actually cheating. The wife was, at least. She never discarded during the robber. And other shady poo poo I can't remember. One guy said he'd never play with them again on the spot and then started hosting his own games, so that split the group. They might try to play on the same night and you would get both invites and so, who do you choose? Catan drama.

Eventually no one wanted to play with that couple and people didn't like the wife in particular. She couldn't find anyone to play with and her husband was always at a bar playing cornhole with that whole clique. At some point she started having an affair with this other guy in the group. Any time her husband was at the bar, she'd go play the two player Catan with this other guy. The dude's roommate is like the most popular guy around and he loves gossip/telling stories. Once the rumors took off that really created an awkward social scene.

Eventually poo poo got even weirder but we're past Catan at this point. But if it wasn't for the game in the first place...

Two player Catan usually involves sheep

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Board games were invalidated by the advent of software and anyone who still plays them is a moron

Someone wasn't invited to board game night

Drunk Nerds: Jan 25, 2011; Just close your eyes; Fun Shoe

We got my twins into Cataan junior when they were 5 . The moment i realized they needed to move on to regular Catan was when we were playing and they got this "Twin Sense" look in their eyes. All of a sudden they started making stupid trades for lumber. My wife tried to make a move for lumber to win the game, realized there were no lumber tokens left. She looked up at them, and they were all of a sudden riding identical Big Toys with an elevator full of blood opening behind them.
