Even the junior version is still fun to play, it goes quicker, but this version is more challenging.
I am very very impressed with the game design the thinking of the strategy it creates in all players. hats off to the developers of this game!!
Pro: almost identical rules to the original game for half the price. Cute little cards and graphics that I prefer over the original
Con: my biggest con would be the resources pieces aren’t customizable and the numbers are fixed. Yes you can flip parts around for a little change here and there but overtime it becomes too similar. Also the pieces aren’t real wood like the original but no complaints because doesn’t make a huge difference. Lastly, this version isn’t compatible for extension.
Overall, if you don’t mind the little differences for half the price, go for it

The aim is to be the first to score 10 points, and this is done by using your resources - timber, livestock, food, brick and ore, which are gathered each time the dice is rolled - to buy & build settlements or cities, or to buy development cards which can sometimes swing the game in your direction.
It involves a brilliant combination of skill and luck, and one of the most exciting aspects of it is that a player can suddenly and unexpectly have a windfall of points and win, which gives an edginess to playing that many other games don't have.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves ingenious board games....definitely a classic!

What sets CATAN apart is its perfect balance of strategy and excitement. The game mechanics, designed for 3-4 players aged 10 and above, create an engaging experience that keeps everyone on their toes. Negotiations, resource management, and a dash of luck make each session dynamic and unpredictable.
The Family Edition is particularly praiseworthy for its accessibility. It successfully captures the essence of the original game while introducing simplified rules that make it easy for newcomers to grasp the mechanics. The playing time of 60-90 minutes strikes a perfect balance, ensuring that each game remains thrilling without becoming overly time-consuming.
The replay value is exceptional, as the modular board setup and ever-changing dynamics mean no two games are alike. The quality components and durable construction guarantee that CATAN will be a staple in our game collection for years to come.
In summary, CATAN Family Edition earns its 5-star rating for being an enduring source of entertainment that bridges generations. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or a newcomer to the world of board games, CATAN promises hours of wholesome family fun. Highly recommended!
