Most goons were raised in locked attic rooms, living off condensed milk spoon-fed to them by a woman they called Mother, who had stolen them from their stroller on a balmy June afternoon while their real mother was distracted throwing back a frisbee to some kids. While Mother did cruelly forbid ever leaving the attic, she at least had the kindness to buy them a dented Dell Latitude laptop from the secondhand store, and a forums account.

Catan is a game where an innocent mistake in the first ten seconds means you're going to spend the next hour being slowly drained of life & joy while everyone else has fun. This has grim implications for the general vibe of their orgies.

I think the most emotionally drained I've ever seen someone (outside of Real Life poo poo) was when a friend of a friend tried to teach Catan (with expansion) to a group of six people who had never played Catan before. The game took three goddamn hours, and no one enjoyed it.

It's a terrible game where, if you begin losing, every dice roll in the game that benefits you benefits the winning players more. And each turn is less consequential than the one before it, so if you mess up turn one, you've just signed up for an hour of very slowly losing horribly. The game is built around trading for Generic German Boardgame Resources, creating the cruel illusion that you could, if you just tried harder, dig your way out of the hole you dug for yourself on round one. In tone, vibe and general psychological damage it is identical to monopoly, only without the latter's few genuinely fun moments, or the excuse of having been made a hundred years ago as a tool for teaching the horrors of capitalism. Catan is terrible and you can only enjoy it if a) you're already winning and b) you like watching your friends mentally check out of an experience after 15 minutes and then sit there for another half hour discretely checking their phones.

A board game where you collect resources and trade in order to build stuff. First person to build 10 points worth of stuff wins. You get resources from tiles adjacent to your towns when the number that's on them is rolled on the dice. The big flaw of this game is that each player gets two starting towns they can place before the actual game begins, and if you place those towns in a bad spot, the game is already lost, because you'll have to struggle to catch up to the players who got the good spots. The game is still way more fun than poo poo like Monopoly or Battleship or Chutes and Ladders, but board game geeks have long since moved past it.
