This Thursday evening, April 20th the Coloma Hotel will have Dr. TJ Rinaldi to encourage us to mentally stimulate and he is making it fun by teaching new board games that keep you on your toes. Two of these games will be Catan and Carcassonne.
Carcassonne is a tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, etc. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer. When that area is complete, that meeple scores points for its owner.
The Settlers of Catan is an award-winning strategy game where players collect resources and use them to build roads, settlements and cities on their way to victory. The board itself is variable, making each game a little different from the next. This is going to be fun so be there at 6:30 PM and bring your MIND!
