DAVIDSON, N.C. — Settlers of Catan is a strategy-based board game that casts players as explorers who have stumbled onto an uncharted island. Once they come ashore at "Catan," players use strategy to gain supremacy of their newfound territory. Jack Gibbs, a junior point guard at Davidson College, prides himself as one of the most ruthless settlers of Catan. "It's the board game of our generation," he says. Gibbs and his teammates share four adjacent apartments on Davidson's campus, and during the Wildcats' down time, the apartment complex routinely transforms into the mythical island. And just like on the court, Gibbs loves taking his opponents to task.
