Game board help

[Debbie in Wa]

I am always looking for a new game board to add for our winter weather, and have heard of this one.

The Settlers of Catan


Have you heard about this or play this one. It kind of reminds me of homesteading. I tried to link it up from Amazon to here but it won't let me. The game is around $38.00 and kids as young as 6 can play. Reviews were good too.

was looking it up on catan.com looks kind of fun!

We have it at our house. It is a blast and super easy to play. Basically, you have little houses which represent your "settlements" and little straight pieces which represent your "roads". You get certain resources (wood, wool, stone, etc) based on where your settlements are. You use your resources to build your settlements and roads.

It is a lot of fun and there are lots of "add on's" you can get to make it a new and different game.

A ton of fun. Some relatives own it and we have played it with them, but are thinking of getting it ourselves-or something else in that genre.

Great fun game !!!!

Not the run of the mill boring monopoly type...it is different every time you play it.

[WildernesFamily]

A really fun game! Like suzyh says above, not your run of the mill boring game.

Catan is one of our favorite games. While we have a couple of the add ons, we rarely use them and prefer the original.

We got Settlers of Catan this summer when we had to spend 10 days in a hotel (during home repairs from water damage). I'm not a big fan of board games, but I really like Catan. My almost 12 year old son loves it!
