This week we tried a six player game of Settlers of Catan, which I think I've only played with six once before. Although with the larger number of players, the rules allow people to build on every turn, not just your own, the game did go on much longer than it should have. However, the scores were very tight at the end as nobody managed to run away with it in the middle and Mark W, who had looked an also-ran for much of the game, managed to grab a settlement and the longest road to push him to victory. I had started well but then became a target and seemed to get robbed on virtually every other turn.
