Klaus Teuber

With a name like Klaus how can you go wrong? If you've stayed in our home, you have most likely engaged in a game of Settlers with us. There are several ways our guests get educated while staying with us: 1) Swingers will be watched if not previously seen already, 2) Napoleon will be viewed, sometimes even if you've seen it before, 3) Settlers will be played. This is what we did on Christmas night with an old friend of ours, who was staying over. We went to bed at 3 AM after playing another one of Klaus Teuber's mastermind games, Settlers of the Stone Age. The original, Settlers of Catan was a favorite of ours for years. These games take old-school favorities like Monopoly and Risk to another level. At the end of the 3-hour game, I emerged victorious, even after my husband and friend staged an embargo and cut off all trade to my people. I'm looking forward to New Year's when we pull out the Yute, a centuries-old Korean game that is played like the game Sorry but is much cooler because it involves throwing carved wooden dowels simultaneously in the air. Let the games begin!
