Conclusion:
positive: - the big game field and its huge expansion possibilities
- The guide is once again super (and as Catan player has since then anyway no problems -> You must not cumbersome as, read into other extensions - to play in a very short time)
- A new prepaid card: Wine - I find very well done (new ideas to enrich the game)
- The one for the Swap (2: 1: 1, 3) has to build "just" a road
- The idea of the sights (and that you have to have built it before, before you may pass - in "real" life you look at it even before you pass ^^) find ich super, the implementation is as stated below unfortunately little weak - and the airport they could really save
- On the back of interest-cards, information about respective built, I also find super
negative: - the playing field is somehow confusing - especially because the road way where you can build the roads are already defined and incorporated with ..
- You can not got cities (you can but sometimes other enhancements may not) build or other things (ships, knights ...) - as potential would have been!
- The kind of cheap workmanship of attractions (I would have expected more)
- It is not an extension, so a stand-alone game. - I see it as a kind of disadvantage, because you have a complete stand-alone game, the same basic things you during normal Catan also has (roads, settlements ..)
you could, for example, can also be knight / roadmaps so, in this game, it is called the "longest toll road" and "largest vigilante"
-> Then you could somehow can make an extension to the normal game
-> On the other hand one can also give this game, and does not require prior knowledge and no basic version Settlers of Catan :)
All in all I give the game still 4 Stars - because I also these settlers like it very much. One need not be too complicated things build on each train thinking (such as extension Cities & Knights)
It's a fast, nice settlers game - with a colorful field nearby, where you also can what to learn.
For beginners alike therefore recommended as for die settlers fans
