I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but well, I still dabble in board games from time to
time. And I'm not talking about computer ports of Risk or Monopoly, no, I mean juggling a pair of dice, staring
my opponent down, neurotically calculating the possibilities on the board, you know… Sure it's a dying art, and
most of us have better things to do on a Saturday night, but a few years back there was a revival—at least for my
friends and I—by way of an intriguing German creation called Settlers of Catan. Needless to say, we
traded and back-stabbed long into the night, building our towns and cities, and that oh-so-precious 'longest
road'. Well, apparently Capcom picked up this little (dare I say) phenomenon on their radar and now has dreams of
bringing it onto the N-Gage. Anytime I see 'N-Gage' in a sentence I can't help but feel nervous, but perhaps all
those fond memories I have from years' past will make the wireless/digital conversion. Notice, I'm not holding my
breath.
