New family favourite, albeit only four players at a time. Such a clever balance of a relatively fast learning curve with deep strategy and competitive banter. Prepare to fall out with your nearest and dearest. It’s right up there with monopoly… in some respects better… certainly faster paced. A classic.
Very good game, with so many variations of play. Many hors well spent.
This game has to be one of the best, the 3D modelling of the islands makes it easier to get to know the game and brings a whole new level of gaming experience. Me, my family and my friends absolutely love it!
Was given as a gift to people who love this game. I think it is boring personally
Played this with my grandchildren. The 5 YO didn’t really enjoy it, the 7 YO was OK, but the games is loved by the 9 & 12 YO. It’s simple to understand once you’ve played a game and got over the idea that you roll the die then don’t move anything.
Siedler Never disappoint! Absolutely brilliant for traveling on train for hours! Always in our bad.
This is excellent for any standard Catan players looking to increase the scope of the game and it offers a variety of setup situations. You have the pirate to add to the robber and the “choose any resource “goldmine hexagon . We have enjoyed many games so far.
Makes the game more enjoyable. There are some scenarios which give the game more purpose and interest. we have been playing via Zoom with family we can’t meet during Covid restrictions. It’s easy to set up identical boards .
We love playing this! The expansion adds a lot more fun!
It’s perfect , I’m planing to get game of thrones Catan as well .
Our grandson, 4 years old, loves it and the whole family have been playing it, including us via Zoom!
My 21 year old son asked me to get this at Christmas as he had played it with friends.
The whole family were engrossed in it for days over the Xmas period.
Great game. Now a family favourite.
We gave this to my husband for Christmas and it has been the gift that keeps on giving. We have since spent countless hours with our two children, ages 8 and 10, playing. Each game is different and we love to see new strategies emerge. We will definitely be ordering an expansion pack so that we can play with larger groups. I highly recommend Catan!
Great game we have the original catan so it was a bit of a change but in a good wakeeps everyone on they’re toes
Fantastic game!! One of my favourites!! Really easy to understand
Fantastic:
Catan – good
Game of thrones – good
You can’t really go wrong here. I’d definitely recommend it to any GoT fan. Such a fun game where even if you lose / are losing you don’t get that losing dread, like you do with some games.
Really good expansion pack with different scenarios you can play as well as different missions. Takes a bit of reading before you start playing, and we spent more time than the estimated playing time, so do put aside at least 2 hours for each game. Quite pricy for an expansion though, and the cardboard pieces don’t always fit perfectly but that is not a big deal. Get ready for hours of fun play!
We as a family play every week as an expansion to basic catan! Love i
This is one of the best board games I’ve ever played. Easy to learn, difficult to master.
For the most competitive people, take it easy, as some of you may argue a lot during the game. Some others may lose friends forever after playing this.
Great game! Looked daunting at first but easy to follow instructions and set up. Should you get stuck, there’s plenty of online tutorials out there too. Highly recommended fun!
This is a very good game that I totally recommend but watch out for more updated versions.
Absolutely loving Catan! It is complex and giving you endless different set ups with random tiles, so no two games are the same. There is just the right mix between luck and strategy and you can come up with your own style as there are multiple ways to win the game. It isn’t particularly easy to learn but my God it’s worth it!
I love playing catan! This version allows me to do so even while traveling, as all the pieces (and even the dice) are designed with travellers in mind!
Everything is well thought out, and excellent quality. I would have liked the actual board to be as variable as the one in the original version, but it’s a minor inconvenience design-wise.
It is well worth the investment.
Got this for a board games night with some friends, fun to play and the board itself is very well made. Instructions are clear and even has a QR code on the side that leads to a helpful learn to play site.
Ok, this is a game which requires a couple of games and detailed reading of the rules to get used to.
But
Once you have it then it is one of the best games your family can play. Kids, 10 & 12 love it.
This game is quietly famous and you’ll see why if you get it.
We got this to add some new rules to the original game. Its adds some new ideas and rules which adds a new dynamic to the game. However I find that the Catan expansion sets are expensive especially for just game extensions
Mini ish version of the board game. Enjoyed playing it but there’s a set route so not as much freedom as the original board game.
Bought this as a present for Christmas and have to say that its really great fun to play. Very quick and easy to learn, but provides a good balance of speedy play together with a need for strategic thinking and delightful nastiness towards your opponents. Quite addictive.
My family have been playing Catan for a few years now, but we’re all predictable players. This expansion added a really fun new element that saw us all playing slightly differently. It was a good way to change a game that we all enjoy for the bette
Gives you more gameplay and fun and new randomness that opens more possibilities. Plus it’s very easy to learn straight off if you are moving on from basic cata
Its Catan, what else is there to write about? Just make sure you play with people who would not kill your friendship for resource competitive games like this one
Love the game! So much fun and not too long to play. Only issue with it, it that printing on the tiles and numbers isn’t straight / is lopsided.
his game is a classic and it’s easy to learn but offers great replayability. The theme and gameplay is also easy to appeal a wide range of people.
Product arrived in perfect conditions
Our game was missing all 29 ‘ore’ resource cards. Not a complete deal breaker but not great! We had to improvise with our own cards. Other than that, we have enjoyed the game as a family. My 9 year old quickly became a pro and enjoys the strategy element. Definitely a step up from Monopoly!
We found the game takes longer to complete than the 45 minutes suggested on the box, but perhaps that’s just the way we play!
I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband and we played it with my parents at least twice a day over the break!
Because the board can be changed for each game it feels fresh everytime and your strategy needs to be adjusted accordingly.
I bought this for my Sister for Christmas. The one star reviews had me worried about receiving a fake or incomplete copy of the game. Everything seems to have been included however. No issues with the product and this was the best price I could find.
The game was easy enough to learn and play even for a group of new players. A far better experience than being bored stiff by Monopoly!
Honestly, I was hesistant to buy this from Amazon after reading the mixed reviews. I was so worried there were going to be missing pieces or things wouldn’t fit properly. And this is to be a Christmas present so I was extra worried. However, the game arrived on time and in great condition. I opened it up and checked everything was there and it all was. It was painted and printed well with everything as expected. I’m very relieved and very happy!
My Catan arrived yesterday and was perfect, all numbers were centered, there was 15 roads for each colour and the same amount of houses and cities. Overall quality is perfect. This was fulfilled by Amazon so I can’t speak for any other retailers. Great game to play with anybody!
Probably the best board game money can buy right now. We play it as a family with our 2 boys and games last 1 hour plus without getting boring in the slightest. We’ve since purchased 2 expansion packs which provide endless amounts of variation. Definitely recommended if you like in depth strategy games.
Brilliant game – very addictive but the quality of the board construction leaves a lot to be desired. it fits together like a large puzzle – except the bits don’t fit properly and I’ve had to use a craft knife to get it to do so. Nevertheless, as a board game, it’s engaged the whole family.
Simply one of the very best games I have ever played. Already a family favourite, it combines strategy and luck. So much variation every time the game is played, this is a game which will not get shoved to the back of he cupboard. If you have not yet bought it – don’t miss out!
Came exactly as descibed, new and unopened in great condition. Very happy all around apart from the delivery which came two days late despite choosing express delivery with a guarantee of arriving the next day. Excited to be able to play seafarers with 6 people now!
Interesting strategy game remniscent of those computer games such as civilisation etc. You own property next to a variety of land types which produce a variety of resources. You role dice for resources which can be traded for types of resources you don’t have in order to build or buy… Can be fun, quite tense at times with a decent amount of strategy involved.
Nice quality dice and printed scoring pad. Comes with the rules for 2 different games. The scoring pad will run out eventually but by the time you’ve played the game a dozen or so times you could easily draw your own score cards and have just as much fun. Dropped one star because there was no carry case or bag to put the dice and the pad in which would have been really useful for travelling.
A very clever, well constructed version of this brilliant game. Great to be able to play with just two players, I thought initially the two player rules would be a bit complicated, but it’s not really a problem at all.
Great expansion gameplay wise, but for the price this should be a stand alone game or at the very least contain the necessary border pieces. You MUST own the original catan to play this game. The actual box layout could also be improved to house the bits and pieces.
Catan is one of our favourite games and this expansion makes it all the more fun. Sail the seas and defeat pirates to earn gold which can be used in trade, find fish and discover spices. There are several differenr scenarios to choose from depending on how long you want to play for. With the 5-6 player expansion the board is huge and game play is epic! Can’t wait to buy my next expansion.
Love the game. The gallery version was a present 5 years ago and immediately bought the basic and seafarers versions. Now worn out the board and cards. Needed a new set and this current release is superb. I was brought up on board and card games and this is now the only board game I play. Best with four people but 3-6 is possible (5 or 6 needs extension sets). Seems a little expensive for a board game but well worth it. If you have never played it before buy the basic set first. Add the seafarers extension when you feel you need a bit more excitement and you will not be disappointed.
The best family table game ever. Much smarter than Monopoly, very nice way to spend cold winter evenings. You can be drunk or just 8 y.o. – easy to understand rules and plenty of strategies to play.
This is a great game for all ages. Highly recommend. My only criticism is that it comes with 4 different coloured packs of settlements, cities and roads and there were 3 red road pieces missing from ours (stupidly I didn’t think to contact the seller at the time to ask for replacements although if they are reading this perhaps they could oblige?); it’s not a major problem as we’ve just cut 3 thick red cardboard pieces to replace but hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
Excellent game, arrived quickly. Bought as an xmas present – will be advising that they buy Cities & Knights expansion, in order to make this a more challenging game. For those who find it ‘as easy as Monopoly’, you have not played the likes of my daughter, her husband and friends – they take a lot of time working on strategies and ploys but you do need to add expansions for this sort of play!
amazing game if your looking for something different in boardgame, i got this with a group of friends at 8 each which i think is the best thing to do to get people interested it in and gets a group to play it with together. there is so much re-playability in this game being able to change the map and scenario every game keeps you coming back for more!
Possibly the best board game I have ever played. Tons of re-playability and lots of potential for surprise come from behind wins and also plenty of chances for early leads to crumple. A very nice balance of luck, intelligence and experience are the ways to win. With plenty of scope for new players to win and old players to lose. A very nice tactical and strategic game, that can also be very competitive as players fight each other without actually directly attacking each other. Often very brutal with just two players. An excellent game all round.
I’ve played it for years with my friends in a tea shop at home and finally got my own! The only downside is that you must make some adjustments to be fair to play it in two, so we take out the thief and use a Catan randomizer app to generate different tile arrangements.
The quality of the items included is pretty good, only the player cards have a slightly different colour from one side to another (i.e. it’s blue on one side and purple-ish on the other) – hence the 4 stars.
A very simple game. No great strategy required, but serves as a gentle introduction to the genre.
I find that going first is too much of an advantage, but that works quite well when my son challenges me: I can let him go first then play with ruthless efficiency as I attempt to catch up, and still probably avoid tantrums.
Excellently fun game that became an instant favourite. Our 6 year old has a good grasp of the game and has won a few times (I would suggest that a child playing would get on best if they can read well independently). There is enough chance involved to make it feel not too taxing, and not too much to make your strategies and decisions feel worthless. We’re already planning on buying expansions.
Love this game. My only bug-bear is that I read (or mis-read) that it is suitable for up to 6 players- an expansion pack is required for 4-6 players.
Other than that it is the classic empire building game, simple enough that a 10 year old can quickly pick it up, complex enough that every game is different and will have you challenging for a rematch!
As owners and frequent players of Settlers of Catan we wanted to buy this game so our youngest daughter (5) could play. It follows a similar premise as the Settlers version but based on being a pirate rather than a settler. Your aim is to build a lair and sail to find new places to build new lairs. The winner is the first person to build 7 lairs. There are still resource tiles to collect which allow you to build ships and lairs and development cards which can win you extra resources, turns etc. The robber has been replaced by a ghost captain who doesn’t steal like the robber in Settlers of Catan does but stops resources from that island being produced. This is a strategic game but much younger players. Our 5 year old likes it but still struggles a little with the planning ahead part.
Bought this game for my six years. I was missing a game that we both could play and enjoy. Most of the childrensgames I’ve played isn’t much fun for me so I was playing more by duty than enjoyment. This game is a different story. Much like the normal Catan this is a game of resourses and exploation. Instead of trading between players, a market is added and this makes the game more fun and more understandeble for youngsters. We really like the game, my daughter and I, and recommend it to any one who likes a good game.
Upon delivery the game was missing two sheets of tiles, but that was quickly fixed by Amazons great costumerservice.
