Settlers of Catan

This is a fabulous game by Mayfair Games, which plays a bit like Risk, or so I'm told, and a bit like Monopoly. There's dice rolling to get the resources you need, and then you can build with them. The goal: 10 Victory Points from a combination of settlements, cities, roads, development cards, and soldiers. It's quite fun, and I have to say I may be addicted. Found the computer game version as well, and although it's not quite the same, it's very fun as well.
