Have you heard of the board game Settlers of Catan? All I know is that it’s hugely popular in the Newberg area. I’ve played it some, and I’ve definitely enjoyed it. It’s like a combination of Monopoly and Risk, but has an end that is easily reachable (unlike Monopoly and Risk that can last for hours without end).
Well, a short while ago a co-worker notified me of a place online where you can play Settlers! The night she told me I played for over 3 hours. Welcome to Time Waster 2006! You can play the original version of Settlers, or the variation Cities and Knights; you can even play on a variety of board designs. You have the choice of playing computer players, or you can open up your game for others online to play against you. Who needs to sit across the table from your competition, you can do it in the comfort of your PJs. It’s hours of good fun.

Carcassonne
Ticket to Ride
Puerto Rico
and so on.
