The big downside to is "The Settlers of Catan", that you must be at least three players. With "The Rivals for Catan" this gap is closed and you can immerse for two in the game world of Catan. The various characters and plot maps give the game a greater depth than the original board game. There are a lot of different game histories, so the game even after several games evening shows new properties. Note that you need the necessary space for the game, although it is a card game. On a play on the train is therefore out of the question.
