146-Settlers of Catan On Xbox Live Arcade

So the classic board game Settlers of Catan hit the 360 this morning and when it was first announced the internets practically exploded with glee. I myself have never played the board game, but I know tons of people who swear by it. Calling it an amazing party board game that if you ever brought along with you would dwarf your silly Scrabbles and your mundane Monopolies.

I downloaded the trial version this morning and was wonderfully surprised. First of all it has a very clean very nonabrasive tutorial version of the game. This is all I have played, but just based on the tutorial alone I will be unlocking the full game this weekend. If you have Xbox Live it's totally worth checking out, it's as fun as Uno, and I am sure a lot of you have blown through enough hands of Uno to make it worth your 800 MS points. I definately feel this could even get me to pick up the actual board game, it's that good.
