| | Description | One of the most successful games of all time, Settlers of Catan is a trading and building game set in the mythical world of Catan. Players roll dice to determine which resources are generated each round and then must strategically trade those resources with other players to get what they need to build their settlements, cities, and roads. With multiple ways to gain victory points and a board that changes in every play, Settlers of Catan is a game that can be played hundreds of different ways. The base of a hugely successful franchise, with multiple engaging expansions, Settlers is the core game of many collections, and is a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends. For 3 to 4 players. | |

 Great toy Sep 01, 2010
This is a good game. I assume everyone knows a little about the game, so I'll just say this version is well-constructed with nice visuals.
I would not recommend Seafarers, but Cities and Knights is a good expansion. The 5-6 Player extensions are worthwhile.

 part missing Aug 28, 2010
I have bought this game as a present to my husband. It came in, brand new, no problems from the outside.
When his birthday came, we opened it. Three of the crucial parts of the board was missing. Amazon has refused to take the faulty item back, because more than 30 days has passed since the day of the purchase.
BOTTOM LINE: the game itself is excellent and I love it. CAUTION: to avoid disappointment, open it and check it even if you are planning to give it as a present
 Great Game Aug 19, 2010
It is a fun game, but I don't think it will last as long as other games I have purchased. For the price it should be better built. I would never pay the retail price for this item.
4th Edition NOT an improvement Aug 13, 2010
I love Settlers and I would also recommend the expansion pack as it is a must for any game with 4 players or more (the game is faster and more enjoyable as spots with good resources are less scarce).
As for this edition, I have to say I am a little disappointed. The resource tiles feel flimsy compared to the older editions. The border of the board sets up like a puzzle and then the resource tiles should fit in snugly inside. In theory it should work, but unless you're playing on large flat table and are incredibly patient and careful the set up is frustrating. In Africa we had an edition that had the sea border made up of individual tiles and all the tiles could be thrown in a Zip Lock bag and could be set up on the floor of a tent if needed. Not possible with this edition!
But really, once the game is set up it's amazing. Try to find a better older edition, but if you can't buy this one and get past the painful set up, because Settlers is one of the best board games ever!
Perhaps the best board game ever Aug 12, 2010
Settlers of Catan is by far the king of the Spiel des Jahres winners. Every game can be different, as the "board" is made up of individual hexagonal pieces that you can place randomly. There are several strategies to win, and often your strategy can change one or more times during a single game based on how you are doing and how your opponents are doing. It really makes you think on your toes. Resource constraints, trading with your opponents, and deciding on the various avenues of growth all come into play to make this an engaging game.
The beauty of the game is how the person in the lead can change frequently during the game. You have to be careful not to concentrate too much on one opponent while another sneaks up and wins. And this isn't Monopoly -- in most games, most if not all players have a chance at winning during the endgame.
The game components are all of top-notch quality, with sturdy cardboard and wooden pieces.
I would also highly recommend the expansions.
