Lords of Catan
It's been years and still modern board games have yet to cross over into the mainstream where the boring old likes of Monopoly hold sway. Walk into, say, Hamley's in Dundrum and see if you can come out with anything like Settlers of Catan or Carcassonne. So filler news items like the Monopoly World Championships will continue to pop up, and you're only ever gonna find great stories like this one, on the Catan Worlds, online. (Disclaimer: I've never played Catan, because it's a three-player minimum, gah!) #link
