I always like strategy games but I never got my hand on catan, this is a weird first approach, but oh well, what can I do.
To not make it too long, my gf recently went on a trip with some friends, there she met a guy who was a friend of a friend and was there. Let's say some weird shit happened with him. After that we broke up. She apologize, swear to change, blah blah. Now we came back together. In this trip with this friend group she started playing Catan.
Today she went to her best friend's house (hereinafter gay friend) part of this friend group. Of course I have no problem with this. In theroy there was only the two of them, but I asked her recently and apparently her other best friend (female, again no problem here) joined as well who as well was in the trip.
Gay friend uploaded to his ig story the next pic:
Now, according to google each color represents a player.. so there aren't really three people there, no?
Tl;dr: I need to know how many people my gf is playing with to know if she is cheating/lying on me

I fricking hate Catan. It's an awful game and that cute twink Wil Wheaton pushed it when tabletop was becoming nerd chic. I despise it with all my heart.
Carcassonne is the better casual style game

Yeah Carcassone is better for that genre. If you want to do something hardcore, play Twilight Struggle. I mean ffs that Australian girl here plays it, so it can't be that hard.
What I don't understand is the whole board gaming thing in the first place. You mentioned Wil Wheaton.... this is exactly his style of cute twinkry.
And I really don't like him. It's not just the MasterLawlz thing. It's not the hating him because of Star Trek. I legit actually hate him. He's everything that people hate about nerds and it reflects badly on me.

Is it weird that I just think that Catan is like a natural evolution of a lot of the problems with monopoly?
mostly being:
It's big downside is that for all of that, instead of strong tension as you wait for people to step on 1000 dollar rent landmines, you just sit there at 4-6 points waiting for the 2 guys at 7-8 to win, but thats about the same as being bankrupt.

I mean yeah, just because it has flaws doesn't mean it isn't much better than monopoly.

Once board games had expansion packs it was over, nerds think they'll get in trouble if they don't buy and like everything.

Yeah I think the absolute positivity is pervasive in hobbies across the board especially "collecting" works of art... makes me seethe. The fandom basically bootlick some bpd artist raw hoping to eventually become "friends" and get hooked up with shit.

Board games have had expansions forever. "Dune" from 1979 had at least two: the Duel Expansion and Spice Harvest Expansion.
