]]> Comment on Cities and Knights House Rules by Mike http://michaelburwell.com/2009/06/16/cities-and-knights-house-rules/#comment-225 Mike Thu, 11 Feb 2010 18:59:52 +0000 http://michaelburwell.com/?p=541#comment-225 Okay here's a quick update on these rules. After playing C&K this way for about a year, the group of friends that we play with decided to go back and try the original rules. No mods whatsoever, basically right out of the manual. WE LOVED IT! I will add that we particularly like it in 4 player version. This is because there is no building phase and as a result turns go faster, people stay engaged more, and the game feels like it moves at a better pace. I will say that play time is not any less or more, because getting 13 points is still pretty hard so it takes longer with less production, but honestly, we really have been enjoying it. I will also add that the barbarians attacking and the Defender of Catan victory points are more of a factor in the original rules. Last game we played I had 4 VP just from Defender of Catan cards, and still didn't win. So Catan is still be most righteous game ever no matter which version you play, and we're loving the original rules these days. Okay here’s a quick update on these rules.

I truly am glad that I get to see you walk the "high road". Its like watching Jesus deal with people in the Bible. Keep on Staying in the Spirit as we all watch what the Lord is going to do next!!!!! love ya Bro Chuck It truly is amazing that they all talk about “Jesus’s love” or “Forgiving one another”…but when push comes to shove, it becomes obvious who is taking the “high road”.

Here at JBU there's a lot of talk about how we "lead worship" or "the worship was good". But to set an example in all you do is truely worshipping. I agree.

When Scripture talks about following in Jesus' footsteps (1 Pet 2:21) this is part of what it is talking about: "Do not repay evil for evil or insult for insult, but with blessing..." (1 Pet 3:9). This is a great example of the sort of thing Peter is talking about. Thanks for sharing it! Mike,
