Ah, Catan, the game we love to play to both build and destroy relationships. A strategic game based on careful calculations and dumb luck from the roll of the dice. Let's not forget about the players' personal biases - you didn't share your potato chips yesterday with the player on your right? That means you're in for a world of hurt whenever they roll a 7. With a game this fun (and this toxic), you best believe there are some hilarious Catan memes to be harvested from the depths of the internet.
Catan might be our favorite board game, but it is not a game to play with your good friends - or else you might lose them after you beat them too many times (or vice versa). There are lots of other famous board games (and amazing board game memes), but Catan has been with us since we were kids, and it will always be our favorite (but only whenever we win).
If she doesn't respect the sanctity of Catan, it's a red flag! But, for real, you should respect your partner's personal space and boundaries. Let them have their fun outside of the relationship! Plus, you don't want to play Catan with them anyway, unless you actually want to break up.
It's so tempting to take all those tasty development cards, especially when the fear of losing all your cards to a seven is always hanging over your head. Maybe if we buy enough, we'll get more victory points (said every n00b ever).
