For small settlers. :-)

Compared to the settlers for Catan "for adults" is what this junior version about to build in his first seven Tents on the board. Instead of villages there is just the tents, and instead there are ways circus wagons. Here, the game runs in principle exactly like the Great when you're off, you roll the die and the players get corresponding raw materials (here: wood, wool, sand, popcorn and orange juice), which they then exchange during their train or with whom they build tents or carts or to request help penguin. When penguin help you draw the top card from Penguin stack and must be free to build, depending on the map, to take raw materials or use the veterinary inspector who has the same function as in Settlers of Catan the thief, so block primarily for players.

My son (soon 5) it has in any case understood quickly and we had fun in the game. It is worth mentioning that one as opposed to the "normal" Catan Junior can also play on the second version of Madagascar; the game board has two sides, one for two players and one for three / four players. Featuring I find also succeeded well make me a stable impression materials; the "maps" for example are not made of paper but of solid cardboard.

All in all there is of me a strong buy recommendation, even for adult fans of the big Catan, who want to introduce their children to the game. :-)
