βAsk The Bellhopβ [00:07:37]
This question comes from the website: David RY writes:
I have some friends who ONLY want to play Catan (I got invited to what I thought was a board game night but was actually just their regular Catan tournament style night), and Iβm wondering what would be some good follow up games? Theyβve been interested in Ticket to Ride and Takenoko but neither have the same feel of the trading/player interaction and the dice-rolling/chance part of the resource collecting (plus they all love the ability of the robber to screw someone over). Any help?
