In Settlers of Catan you control a group of settlers trying to tame the wilds on the remote but rich isle of Catan. Start by revealing Catan's many harbors and regions: plains, meadows, mountains, hills, forests and deserts. Embark on a quest to settle the isle of Catan! Guide your settlers to victory by clever trading and cunning development. Use resource combinations- grain, wool, ore, brick and lumber- to buy development card and build roads, settlements, and cities. Acquire your resources through trades or lucky dice. But beware! Someone might cut off your road or buy a monopoly! And you never know when the wily robber might steal away with your precious gains! Ages: 10+ Players: 3-4 Playing Time: 60 minutes JM Cremp's Experience and Review: We brought Settler's of Catan home one evening (The Asplin's) and our kids loved it. The game says ages 10+ but with a little help learning the game we even had our six year old playing. It takes a little bit of time and thought energy to read through the directions and learn the game, but like most games, once you learn the basics it becomes a fun for the whole family. The game can only allow up to four players, so if you would like add additional players then you will need the expansion pack which allows for up to 5-6 players (item # 12223). Honestly, our kids really enjoyed this game and have since spent many hours playing on their own. This is a great addition to the game closet! Enjoy :) |
