Played a three hour session of the artist-designed mod to Settlers of Catan called Unsettling Settlers. There were three tables of players organized by the Art Gallery of Regina with the artist/creator Golboo Amani attending, observing, and advising. Had fun. Good humour, but I think we broke the session (the allies - who are basically the indigenous people - play cooperatively but in out session they both got some afflictions which limited their ability to get resources - resources that are needed to cure their problem. The game ended shortly after that but I anticipated that they would not recover. Some groups gave up o the competition altogether, which is philosophically noble but stops the session from being a game.
