Editorial Review: Product Description: Average Rating:
 Rating: - Best game EVER, just buy itOk so you like games like... Monopoly, and Risk and all that. But the problem is, for the last hour or half hour when you play those games, it's pretty clear who is winning and who will eventually win. With Catan, it's not over until it's over! 50 times more fun than any game I have ever played without the predictability. Everyone is still in it to win it and can mess up each other's play right 'til the end. Best game I have ever played. Can't wait to play again. It's simple really, just buy it and spread the fun! Rating: - A fun strategy/trading game.The Settlers of Catan is just a fun game! The ever changing board gives a different strategy style every game. It is quite simple to pick up (although some of the photographs showing games in action can lead you believe that it's difficult). There is an aspect of planning, trading, building and a little luck (but just a little) which shows why this is a best seller. Forget Monopoly and other outdated, tedious games, this is great! The actual game takes about an hour and a half to two hours for first time plays, but as you gain experience this is reduced. In a world that is obsessed with computer gaming, this game brings the board game back where it belongs... in the family. Rating: - Simple, smart and very entertainingIf you're wondering whether you'd enjoy this game: It's like a cross between Monopoly and Risk, with about the same level of complexity, and with all the benefits of both and none of the drawbacks. It has enough random elements to make it exciting (dice, cards and board-setup), but without making it arbitrary - which seems to be a failing of Monopoly. This means you can have a good or a bad few turns, but a good strategy will make all the difference over time. The bartering of resources with other players is a key component of the game, and again it's possible for a good mercantile thinker to turn this to their advantage. It's fascinating - and amusing - to see the market swing in two turns from "All I've got is 4 Wood" ...

Like the previous reviewer, I love the new board and it's a lovely, snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug fit. I've introduced the game to a few friends, some of whom are not normally into games, and they all love it. If learning the game seems a bit too much effort they have their own dedicated website to teach you how to play! If you're not sure about whether this game is for you, check it out and you'll see what it's all about. Rating: - New set, same gameWe were introduced to Settlers of Catan by a friend, and have played on his board on many occasions. Having bought the new edition, I can now say that the new design is very nice. It took a couple of games to get used to what was what but my wife and I now play happily. The pieces are still good quality wooden affairs, the tiles themselves are just as wellmade as before (now backed with sea rather than plain). Regarding the frame, ours is a anug fit, but I put that down to it being new. We haven't needed to make any alterations as the above commenter has, so his may be an unfortunate batch. The overall look is very nice, the gameplay is as before, and I thoroughly recommend it. |
