For all our board game fans in the house. Las week, I posted about Universal purchasing film rights to the Settlers of Catan board game. Today, The Washington Post takes a tongue-in-cheek look at how the script might shape up. I found it laugh-out-loud funny and I haven't even played Settlers of Catan. I presume those of you in the know will really enjoy this piece.Alexandra Petri of [i]The Washington Post[/i] wrote:LEADERThe SETTLERS stand to attention.

This was great, thanks for posting it, John. My wife and I both had a good laugh and sent it to the folks we used to play settlers with frequently.
