Product Description
Theme : Settlers of Catan is one of the most popular and successful board games of all time. In Settlers of Catan you are one of four competing immigrant groups to the new land of Catan, vying to become the dominant power by building cities and settlements throughout the nation. Players must choose which lands they will develop and build their settlements alongside and how best to utilise the scarce resources the land provides them to become the dominant power in Catan.
The 4th edition of Settlers of Catan from Mayfair has all new graphics and a new interlocking tile-map that will keep your game board from scattering from every movement.
The 4th Edition of Settlers comes with nineteen (19) new redesigned land hexes with unique artwork on each hex and an interlocking sea board. Furthermore, the game comes with an insert tray that will fit all your basic components and the 5 & 6 player expansion.
Gameplay : Settlers of Catan uses a modular game board, with the board consisting of cardboard hexes which are shuffled at the beginning of each game. The land hexes are then laid out into a hexagonal pattern to create the new land of Catan.
At the beginning of each game, players decide on which lands they will build their settlements on with each land type (forest, pasture, mountains and fields) each providing a different resource.
Land hexes produce on a roll of a pair of dice, with each land hex provided a number ranging from 2 to 12. Each turn, dice are rolled to determine which resources are produced and players must strategically trade and use these resources to win.
Players compete to build roads, settlements and cities using these resources to gain Victory Points while the Settlers development deck provides a variety of additional events that will benefit the players. While Settlers of Catan can be learned within 10 minutes, the modular board gives the game a new flavor every time.

Excellent game. Game system/mechanic easy to learn but game system, personal interaction, through trading mechanism, and random element, through resource dice roll, make game a facinatingly complex stategy game; ie, if you make bad decisions you will lose Review by nonentity (Posted on 1/17/09)

The first time I was introduced to Settlers of Catan, I was in university. The Sci-Fi club I was in met once a week at a pub and Settlers was a popular game to pass the time. It did not take me long to get hooked on the game – 5 minutes in, about as long Review by TR (Posted on 12/5/08)
