Settlers of Catan is a board game that involves both a strategical set up and the luck of the dice. To build the best colony, one has to build not only on the right resources, but also on the most abundant ones (this is determined by the roll of dice). Whenever a number is rolled, you pick up its corresponding resource if you have a settlement on it. Last time I played I had a good set up, there is no denying that. I built my first settlement on the numbers 6,5, and 9, which corresponded to 2 resources of ore and 1 of wheat.
