The Settlers of Catan!

The Settlers of Catan is an astonishing game that you can enjoy during your stay at home. Four players, a board that represents an island, a card repository, a black pawn, two dice and there you go! The purpose of the game is to build villages, cities and roads, and expand your territory in order to reach a specific amount of points which makes you a winner.

Use the land materials wood,stone,wheat and wool that you get from the hexagons that produce them, in order to build, exchange them with your opponents, trade with the bank and ports that are near your buildings. But beware...the thief might take half of your goods when a seven is rolled on the dice! A very enjoyable, interesting board game to spend one and a half our with your friends and family.

Ratings:

Fun factor: High. The players' interest rises as soon as many points are gathered and they reach the winning level. Dice rolls can completely change the outcome quickly.

Cost: Normal. The price is pretty standard for board games of this type.

Complexity: Medium. Someone has to play it 2-3 times in order to learn the rules well and play quickly.

Duration: 60-120 minutes. It depends of how experienced the players are. Occasionally dice rolls can prolong the game.

Replayability: High. Random distribution of tiles on each game completely changes the strategy needed to win.

  1. My family loves this game! We play it every time we get a chance. The Settlers of America game is my personal favorite. I love building the railroads, and heading west. My husband beats me almost every time, but I'm okay with that. This game is so fun! I lose and still love it every time!
