"Christmas is just around the corner, and you might be wondering how to spend
those long, lazy afternoons. If you’re tired of the same old
Monopoly,
perhaps it’s time to try
Settlers of Catan.
It’s a strategy board game for three to four players fighting to be the
dominant force on Catan island.
Settlers of Catan fundamentally changed the
board game industry since its launch in 1995. It has sold more than 40 million
copies and led to dozens of spinoffs.
Catan offers the strategic thrill of
Monopoly, without the endless
arguments or (occasional) tears. Instead of bankrupting your family, you could
be building roads, trading resources and collecting victory points.
It’s also an effective tool for developing strategic capabilities. These are
skills that can be used to solve complex problems and plan for future success.
Strategic thinking is essential today as we navigate social challenges, job
insecurity and rapid technological change. While businesses spend heavily on
consultants and training programs, you could build these skills at home."
