About this Raddle

"Mountain dew" was Appalachian slang for moonshine, which Barney and Ally Hartman used as inspiration for their soft drink brand, first bottled in 1932. It was originally intended to be used as a mixer with whiskey, if you can imagine.

Theme: Settlers of Catan

Settlers of Catan was my first foray into strategic board games. We're building Raddles this week around the game's six terrain types: hill, forest, field, mountain, pasture, and desert.
