CATAN - Classic New Edition

Catan - The Game

Here is the basic version of the classic game. The game has been around for a long time - 1995 came out the first version. Back then, the wooden figures, today everything is made of plastic material, but beautiful forms. The Moderne is that version 2015 Games App is a wizard introduction. The app is very nice and provides a first look at the game, and the enhancements to the game are described. I like do not like to, that is handled in this game with a tablet or mobile phone around. We geeingt on the basic game without App. That was a lot of family and familiar.

Then there's "Catan robbers" than Android game or for Apple. The app complements the classic board game. For this you need a game character who is set to play the app.

First, the game must be assembled and constructed. The frame fields are joined together. There accede the countryside fields. Each player receives in its color cities, houses and streets. One begins with the construction of 2 settlements and 2 blocks per color. There is also a building cost card. The remaining commodity cards are sorted and placed in the compartments of the card holder. The development cards are shuffled and placed face down in the 6th compartment. At the beginning the player gets the right raw material card for one of its settlements. Of these, there are 5 different types of cards.

The winner is who has reached 10 victory points. The game takes about 80 minutes. The playing field is made of solid cardboard and snaps together stably. The quality of the game is very good, sturdy cardboard and high quality accessories.

The game is for 3 - 4 players, ages 10. My 10-year-old granddaughter was thrilled. Her parents had the old game. She found the new game much nicer.

Every game is different, always new things happen that were not in the previous game. it remains interesting even after repeated playing.
