Games people play

Last update on October 2005 by Robert

Many people ask me why we don't have De Kolonisten van Catan . Well, partly it's coincidence: we happened to choose other games to buy. But it is also partly because so many other people have it: there is always someone who can bring it along if you want. For example, on 6th March 2003 I played Catan with some work colleagues (after office hours, of course), and it is also sometimes played during our regular game evenings.

We like to play games.

It all really took off when I was introduced to Magic, The Gathering way back in 1994 or so. While I still play Magic (Sarah doesn't much anymore), we have broadened our horizons considerably.

We regularly meet up with friends to play games, originally organised by Djinn's Pure Magic.
