According to this W$J story, "the new golf" in Silicon Valley is The Settlers of Catan. Or just "Settlers" to aficionados.

I was introduced to the game by my son, who bought the expansion game for me on my birthday last month. (The techies in this video are playing the basic version.)

The expansion game is fairly complicated, and I don't always remember the rules, but it's a good way to pass some time with friends or family.
