The number of players that have devoted a long night to the game is in the double-digits and &#8211; including most of the team&#8217;s starting offensive line, among others. And don&#8217;t let the words &#8220;board game&#8221; fool you, this is not Candy Land. <\/p>\n<p>Any player in the locker room will readily admit that it&#8217;s a nerdy endeavor. The game&#8217;s object is to build settlements on the board using &#8220;resource&#8221; cards. Think of it as a fantasy version of Monopoly. &#8220;At first we&#8217;re like, &#8216;What the hell is this? Brick? Wool? What kind of game is this?'&#8221; said starting center Corey Linsley. But that quickly faded. &#8220;We are completely addicted to it, we play it whenever we can,&#8221; said tight end Justin Perillo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bravo, Green Bay for choosing Catan over something like Risk or Sorry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember when the Kansas City Royals had an obsession with Clash of Clans?
