Hasta La Gadget!

So you’re engrossed in a game of Settlers of Catan and don’t want to leave the game board to grab something to eat. What will you do? You could call for a delivery order, or you could eat something much more appropriate, courtesy of the geektastic cuisine of Chris-Rachael Oseland.

Her new book, Wood for Sheep offers tasty recipes for Settlers from all walks of life.

The book includes over 100 recipes designed for hexagonal service, including many for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free diets, lactose intolerants, and low-carb eaters. Inside, you’ll find full meals and snacks for hungry board gamers.

The book offers two main sections – one focused on edible, configurable food maps, the second one focused on recipes with sheep and grain as well as clever uses of wood, brick and ore.

The book is available now over on Amazon for about $13 (USD) – a savings of about 34% off the retail price of $20. That money will give you enough to pick up some hexagonal dishes to go with.

I don’t know about you, but food just looks so much better crammed into hexagons.

If you are a board game fan, you will recognize what this is immediately, an amazing LEGO version of Settlers of Catan. If you don’t know what that is, you have been missing out on a fun board game.

This Settlers of Catan board made entirely out of LEGO parts and that makes it pretty awesome. It is completely functional and was being shown off by creator Ryan H. at this year’s Brickworld convention. It features interlocking tiles and the tiles actually look like the different resources that they are supposed to represent. You can still put the roads and settlements on the board too.

It might be hard to transport, but if you show up with this at your local game night, people are going to freak out. This must have taken him a lot of time to finish. Awesome work!
