CATAN is the original strategy board game. Get ready for the incredibly fun and adventurous game loved around the world. CATAN is an easy-to-learn board game for family and friends that anyone can play! Since the release of CATAN (at that time still The Settlers of CATAN) in 1995, the game has developed into a modern classic board game that is available worldwide in over 40 languages. To date, over 40 million games have been sold. With numerous extensions and additions, everyone can create their own personal gaming experience and immerse themselves in the world of CATAN. Trade, build, and settle your way across CATAN! Your adventurous settlers seek to tame the remote but rich isle of CATAN. Start by revealing CATAN's many harbors and regions: pastures, fields, mountains, hills, forests, and deserts. The random mix creates a different board in virtually every session, making the perfect board game for adults and kids. No two games are the same! Embark on a quest to settle the isle of CATAN! Guide your settlers to victory through clever trading and cunning development. Use resource combinations - grain, wool, ore, brick, and lumber - to buy handy development cards and build roads, settlements, and cities. Acquire your resources through trades, cards, or lucky dice (even outside your turn). But beware, someone might cut off your road or buy a monopoly. And you never know when the wily robber might steal some of your precious gains. An adventurous board game ideal for any game night with up to 4 players. To play with 5-6 players, the extension is required. CATAN is loved by families and recommended for kids ages 10 or older. Explore more with other CATAN strategy board games such as the CATAN Seafarers Expansion!

Title: Man this game is fun
Review: Bought this after some work friends said it was good. Took 2 games to learn (all players over 19 years old) but it's great once you get it. Multiple ways to win and very fun trading with everyone. Highly recommend - I'll be buying the expansion.

Title: Brilliant board game for any age
Review: Although Iâve only played this with other adults, itâs a great game for an savy player. Super fun, especially if played with other couples. You can learn a lot about your partner when you see their strategy. So much fun and not too complicated.

Title: Love it but......
Review: Received the Catan game and was excited to learn. Once you start playing it's easy to learn and is a ton of fun. Unfortunately when we set up the game we had one missing piece (an orange city). I don't want to return the game because well we can make it work and it's a huge hassle. I tried to go to product support that lead me down the path to the catan website that states if there are missing parts to contact the seller because all Catan games are not made by one specific company. Well I have no clue who actually made the game that Amazon sold me and the only option I have is to return the game for a replacement....I just need an orange city lol. Super bummed the part was missing but with that being said if you are looking for a fun family game don't hesitate to buy this. It states ages 10+ but I would suggest this more for 14+ because you do have to really pay attention and there is a lot of thought tactic to win as well.
Reviewer: Amazing quality for a beginner and an intermediate player. Action between the strings and frets are perfect. Additional add ons like the capo and straps all in good condition. Please go for it.
