(...) Now THAT I've got to see! Yes, both my son and I play, and love that game (we've only dug into the original so far, not the expanssions). We'd be up for a game if possible (although since he's 8, the venue and time might be problem). (...) (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

Suz- I've played the game once, and I've been really wanting to play again. Count me in, I can't wait to see it. (ps: did you get my e-mail regarding me representing my club?) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) OMGoodness!! I was soooo planning on making a 'LEGO-ized' version of Settlers in the near future! I would love to see pics of your version, Suz! Dave K -who doesn't play Settlers as often as he would like (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) <SNIP> (...) That sounds cool as all heck. It's been a long time since I've played, but I'd love to have a go! I should be good for any off-hours time, but it might be interesting to actually play during the public expo as well. -Scott (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) That's totally awesome. I'm not going to be able to make it to BF this year, and Settlers isn't really my cup of tea, but I can't wait to see the pictures. How did you manage the resource cards? Are they lego or are you using the ones from the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

I think Clue (or whatever its called) might look good in LEGO with a 3D mansion and minifig accessories for the weapons... (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) That's a good idea! I'll try to make it known if I do something like that. As for others' questions: I'm keeping details and pictures private until after the Fest. ;-) -Suz (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)

(...) I've seen that done somewhere, though I can't remember where at the moment. My daughter and I have played on the regular board using minifigs and accessories as the pieces. It's amazing how easily you can make a minifig resemble the picture on (...) (18 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.gaming)

Greetings Suz, Unfortunately I won't be there but I am a huge fan of the game. I couldn't stand the boring wooden pieces for the robber, barbarian, pirate, and merchant so I made some customized minifigs: (URL) (18 years ago, 29-Aug-06, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
