Product Review (submitted on August 26, 2009):

Settlers of Catan is a game I’d recommend to everyone, whether you are a board game lover or a simply a beginner. Settlers is easy to learn and the game mechanics are simple enough for anyone to pick up quickly yet it offers deeper strategy elements that you will only learn over time. It offers a good combination of luck and strategy: the rolling of the dice will randomly determine the resources but you must be smart about where to expand your settlements and build your cities. The game has a good level of interaction between the players (trading resources, development cards, and the robber) and has an excellent replay value as the game board changes will every play. It also has three major expansions (Seafarers, Cities and Knights, Traders and Barbarians) which add even more to the life span of the game.
