Settlers Game

2 players
Ages: 7 and up
Need pencils and paper

The object is to get one's army to its shelter without crossing enemy lines.

Each player draws a sheet for the opposite player.

In the middle, draw a square with one side being open. This is the way into the shelter.

Then draw 15 circles scattered around the page and number each one from 1 to 15.

The game then begins. The players pretend their army is being attacked and must get each soldier safely into the shelter.

They have to connect lines from their circles with numbers to the shelter.

Lines must be drawn in correct numerical order - 1, then 2, then 3, etc.

Players try and get each soldier into the shelter without their lines crossing on the paper.

If there's no other way, a line may cross another line but this occurs one penalty point.

When all the soldiers are in the shelter, the winner is the player with the least amount of penalty points.

This is definitely a game that makes you think! As the game goes on and you have to cross the other player's line, you'll want to keep in mind not to do this too often.

The penalty points can add up and the other player can end up winning by a point or two!

This can be played in the car, just be sure you have a book or magazine that you can play on.
