Shruggle

Here is a link that shows how you can play Settler's of Catan online. But wait! You can get a free month if you get the year's subscription which is 30$ US. Anyways, 30 bucks for a year isn't bad I suppose, but it isn't the kind of thing that I would be willing to pay for, especially since playing online would be solely about competition with the social aspect removed. I am sure you can communicate with your opponents, but it wouldn't really be the same as harassing people you know, in person, for that priceless wheat/grain that they just picked up. Settlers of Catan is a board game that was developed in Germany and it is really good. Look it up on the internets if you are interested.
