In golf there's a lot of downtime built in which gives you time to talk, build a relationship, etc.
If you try to do this over a board game you'll just hold up gameplay. And depending on the game it can be rude to have other conversations while someone is making a move.
- hazzen 17y agoSettlers is light enough (and hopefully the group you play with as well) to allow for constant conversation. While you do need to use your mind, it is not close to the level required by Chess/Go/etc. Settlers is also reliant upon trading and player interaction, which helps to at least get you comfortable with the other players in the game, if not conversing with them.
- msluyter 17y agoThis really depends on the group in question. Talking about a lot of extraneous stuff in the middle of a game would probably be frowned upon in my particular group. In particular, in Settlers, people are often yelling out general trade offers, "anyone need wool? Wool for wood at 2 for 1! etc..." such that I think any added conversation would be problematic.
