Tabletop Catan

(4.1)

1995

In CATAN (formerly The Settlers of Catan), players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities and roads. On each turn dice are rolled to determine which resources the island produces. Players build structures by 'spending' resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) which are represented by the relevant resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep.

A classic, easy learning for getting someone new into board games. Not the type of strategy that I excel in, but plenty of opportunities to work with an opponent or cut them off at the knee and prevent their victory!

Tabletop Catan

I played this game for the first time about 8 years after starting to play Tabletop Games as a serious hobby. I had heard bad things because of bad experiences that friends had. Personally, I really enjoyed it. I think it depends on who you play with, you can play this as a race for points game or you can play this as a mess-with-other-players game, I prefer the former and when played that way it was a lot of fun.

I tried to not let my recency bias affect my rating for this game. I used to love this game, but some of the main mechanics have worn on me. The beginning randomness of choosing your spots on resources can screw you over before the game has started. The dice rolls to determine resource distribution add a fun, but also frustrating component.

This may be the most gateway of all the gateway board games. Some strategy, but not to difficult and don't have break your brain planning out your moves. Highly recommend this game for newcomer to the board game world.

This is the game that got me really into gaming.
I love strategy, planning, and taking my time with these building games.
There are many expansions, redesigns, and such. But my original still in its "Settlers of Catan" box holds me.

Tabletop Catan

This is the gateway board game to the world outside of classics like Monopoly or Scrabble and for good reason. It's simple enough for board game newbies to learn with enough strategy and depth to stay fun and interesting still today.
