Customer Reviews

Can't wait for added fun.
The Catan card game and expansion set make it perfectly clear that it was created and intended as a 2 person game (which is nice for my husband and I). The expansion set doesn't state anywhere that it adds players; the description is clear that it adds interest and variety -- not extra players -- to the basic game. Catan card game has somewhat convoluted rules, but is very portable and fun to play (although you do need a level and somewhat large playing area). The expansion simply adds to the fun (you do need the original game and a good understanding of it's rules, tho)!!

Awesome Catan game for two players!
My wife and I are both Settlers of Catan fanatics. For the uninitiated, Settlers is a board game for 3-4 players (up to 6 with the expansion) that has different tribes competing for control of an island through the cunning collection and use of natural resources.

This card game is a variant on the same theme, for two players. It should be noted that only two players can play. With that caveat, this game is wonderful. Being a card game rather than a board game, it will obviously be different in many ways. Having said that, it is amazing how much this game has the same vibe as the board game. It is incredibly well-designed. It seems to strike just the right balance between skill and luck (the best player won't always win, but the outcome isn't totally random either).

I eagerly recommend this game to:

* Anyone who likes the board game.

* Anyone who likes strategy card games.

* Particularly people of either of the above groups who are looking for a two player game.

The board game gets a lot of attention, and rightly so, but this is an overlooked gem. Highly recommended!

Card game even better than the original board game!
Settlers of Catan Card Game is a great addition to the Catan World. Limited to two players, it pits you against each other without wanting to kill the other player for building a settlement on your longest road or getting to your next placement spot before you do. You each are working on your own province and it is more a race to the finish instead of trying to block each other's move. Definitely a better game for spousal peace and harmony :)

We have not played through all the expansions.....they make the game a little more cutthroat by allowing you to do more damage to your opponent. Fun....but we hate reading the rules for each expansion scenario. I do like that for about $16 you get multiple setups instead of having to buy each expansion individually.
