settlers cafe...catan rocks!
3 times in total liao. first time with the ME peeps..tat's be4 i went uk. cant rmb wat time we played liao. 2nd time went with the nus gang. these first 2 at clarke quay then the 3rd time at holland v, with owk councillors. haha poor alvin, first time early, he went to the wrong branch. he waited at the clarke quay leh! so ke lian. sighzz. i met tzeting in sch then took bus tog to holland v mah so we were the earliest. then zhiheng drove over. christine reached late so she only played one game but it's the better game. we only played 2 lor. zombies and catan.haha and ya the catan rules different sia, from catan online and that i played at kaiwei's place.
anywayz the one at kw's place is handmade by him de leh..omg i still cant believe how he do it. damn nice la...just that his colour coding for resources abit confusing. haha like the wood is green on the land tile but is red log on the resource card cos he said it's chopped wood (log).faintz.
some difference in rules (cafe vs kw's place)
1. started with all resources surrounding the first 2 settlements vs resources surrounding the 2nd settlement.
2. robber can rob from all settlements surrounding the robbed tile vs choice of only one settlement. so the cafe version throwing 7 is the best. cos we'll rob the tile with the most settlement and get to steal from all the players.. super shiok.
3. smaller vs bigger? dunno leh it seems the one at the cafe played by 5 pple makes the entire hexagon very crowded so very limited places to build then we keep getting the same resource.
at the beginning there's a period of time when all of us keep getting ore..super weird la..why like tat de ah. then after tat we branch out abit.
tze ting is the bloody farmer with all the wheat and alvin is the deforestator with all the wood. christine always get good resources and a variety too. but not those tat she wants then always nobody wants to trade de hahaha so ke lian. zhiheng kept afew cards at hand only de.so not worth to steal from him. nothing to steal also. then i always get brick. finally i still win! yay! but it's a super close fight with alvin la. good long but super fun game.
at kw's place we allow the person with the port to help trade either with or without commission. first round i win.yay! but second round i kenna thrashed. cos they all bias liao dun want to trade with me le..so mean..tsktsk. should i buy a set from settlers? cost abt 70 leh..then i open my own den at home. 1 person collect 1 dollar can earn back liao..hint hint..peeps if i buy, u all come play and give me 1 dollar each ah. gd biz leh.

lady in the water
ehz the story really not bad leh. a fantasy bedtime story. undeniably, the front part is quite boring la. but when the plot develops then not so bad la. the lady in the water is named story. she's a narf, a madame narf somemore. tat's why the beast, some dog-like creature which can camouflage in the grass will do anything to get her. the healer can heal the narf when she's injured. the guardian if stare into the dog's eyes, it'll make it retreat, thus protecting the narf. only the interpreter can solve the riddles. i think there are a few other roles la..cant rmb le.
the aim is for her to search for a guild, a committee with specific roles with certain abilities to help her find the path to freedom. the interesting part comes when the healer, interpreter and guardian she found at first turn out to be the wrong ones. then they almost get themselves killed when they confront the ferocious dog-like creature. so they've to solve the puzzle again and find the right person for the right role after which she's finally set free by meeting the eagle.
at first i also thot it's some horror show cos the madame narf looks like a ghost la. a water ghost. hahaha but it turns out to be a fairy tale lor..i think it'll be more fun if it's a game. to find the players of the specific roles by solving clues and hints given along the way.
