Board Games Night Off To A Rough Start After One Mate Insists On Playing Catan

A friendly board games night has unfortunately taken a bad turn this week, after one mate insisted on playing a game that actually requires using brain cells, it’s reported.

Unbeknownst to Ben, who clearly thought a board games night was a night for intellectuals, ‘board games’ night is actually just an excuse to get on the piss whilst playing games that are either A) social deduction games a.k.a Secret Hitler or Werewolf or B) easy to understand after sculling a few wines, such as Code Names or Monopoly Deal.

Which is why it wasn’t received well when he rocked up with the worst board game of all time.

Catan.

“Mate we’re not playing Catan, it’s too hard”, protested Josh, who still doesn’t understand how it works after Ben tried to show it to him a few months ago, “I don’t want to use my brain.”

Caitlin, who is too polite, suggests that maybe they can play Catan after a few rounds of Quiplash, which is like suggesting a Cold War documentary after watching Keeping up with the Kardashians.

“Awesome! Okay, so I just need to explain the rules for twenty minutes before we inevitably spend four hours playing and all the people that got off to a shit start have no way of redeeming themselves which will likely be all of you as I’m the only person who’s played before.”

“Seriously guys it’s so fun.”

More to come.
