Description:
In Settlers of Catan, groups of settlers try to become the dominant group on a remote island by building settlements and cities across its uncharted wilderness. Each player tries to guide their settlers to victory by clever building and trading. Building is based on resources that you gain based on where you build and the roll of the dice. This combination of strategy and luck makes Settlers an excellent game for players of all skill levels.

Our Review:
Winner of the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award (German game of the year) in 1995, The Settlers of Catan has already carved out a place in the board game hall of fame as one of the best board games ever made. The reason it has been so popular is that it provides an excellent balance between luck and strategy, and it requires a high level of interaction, in the form of trading critical resources with your opponents, in order to achieve success in colonizing the island of Catan. The Settlers of Catan plays well with either three or four players, while an expansion set allows you to play with up to six players. Other expansion sets, such as The Seafarers of Catan or The Cities & Knights of Catan, add new elements (and more complexity) to the strategic aspect of the game.
One of the most interesting features of The Settlers of Catan is that the board consists of tiles that are pieced together randomly at the beginning of the game--thus the board is different each time you play. Another great aspect of the game is that every player is involved no matter whose turn it is, so there is rarely a dull moment. On top of all that, The Settlers of Catan is just plain fun--that is why I give it my highest recommendation.

Simply a great game.
While visiting my brother and his wife in Virginia, we thought it would be fun to buy and play a boardgame for an evening. We happened to see a gaming store and asked the owner what game he would recommend, and Cataan was his selection. We had a great time and played for hours during our vacation. We bought the game as soon as we returned to California and it has been a favorite for 3 years now.

House Rules!
We played this game with friends 5 years ago and couldn't remember the name of it. Well, we've moved to 2 different states since then and found new friends who are Catan addicts. We now have Catan nights and are slowing getting all of our family addicted. Since we love the special build time with the expansion pack, we've developed our own "house rules" that allow for special build with less than 5 players. An added dimension is that we keep the probability numbers for the roll of the dice upside down while placing the initial settlements. Definitely adds a fun spin when you are building blind!
