I have teenage boys who purchased this with the intention of playing with their friends, but somehow it got my wife and I's attention. What a great game. I gives opportunity for planning strategy, negotiating with others, decision making, and chance. Since we are trying to prepare our children for real life experiences I try to put smaller things into relational experiences, and this game has given opportunity for brief discussions on investing, diversification, and strategic planning, and it is just plain fun. Our 11 year old also has joined in and easily grasped the concepts to be successful, not just for teens/adults. Money well spent.

I was disappointed that the box was literally falling apart and only 1 of the 8 corners on the top and bottom was intact; the rest had been faded and ripped from years of use/poor treatment. I would have been fine accepting a used product with a decent box, but even with tape, I cannot keep the box together and I’m concerned we won’t be able to keep the pieces from getting lost. The game pieces are fine and it is a fun game.

Our family loves playing this game. Now that we live states apart we each needed a set. My 8 year old loves to play with us too so it’s a great everybody can play type of game. We like to get expansions and add different parts and make our own rules. So many variations. Have fun! It’s different each time you play.

5th edition tiles are lovely, with more detailed designs and variations between tiles of the same resource. They are also thicker than 3rd or 4th edition. I bought them to add to my 4th edition set, but found that the colors don't match and the difference in thickness makes road placement less easy.

I've played the original Catan game several times and was excited to try out this version. However, I was disappointed to find that it's just a copy, and the quality is not up to par. The board print is sub-optimal, and the overall feel of the game is not as polished as the original. The blocks are decent, but they don't quite measure up to the quality of the original. Some board edges are difficult to join and often disjoin apart when striked gently. Overall, I was a bit let down by this version of the game.
