Just a must-have!

I have long toyed with the idea to buy me the settlers game.
As a big fan of board games "the longer the better" and strategy games seemed to me "The Settlers of Catan" as an absolute must-have.
The only problem: Where should I Get 2 players who love to play like me?

There has long been no "game night" more are with us and mainly card games are "the shorter the better" played a big problem.
I finally sat down and get the game for Christmas. I was immediately impressed by the system of the game, the rules I understood thanks to good returns immediately.
But so great the game is: Is not alone.

Finally, I was able to persuade my mother to play the game with me. After what felt like 30 minutes to explain the rules-it was then going on already.
Already after a few minutes you are fully immersed in the game, even my mother ("The main thing it does not take so long!") Lost track of time - a complete success!
It is now our favorite game and we have (almost) the "game night" reintroduced: Every weekend is settled with us!

Every game is different every time, the possibilities are different. Time you bet on the construction of as many settlements, sometimes one tries his luck with the event card - the game is never boring!

Finally, for those who are struggling with the same problems as I:
- Where can I get 3-4 players come from?
2 also rich! I played the game so far only two, it works! For starters, I think it's even better to be just the two, because you have more space to build and less competitive pressure.

- 70 - 90 Minutes? Way too long!
70 minutes? So long did not even the first game incl. Explanation! With a friend, I even managed a game in 20 minutes. The duration is not an excuse!

- That's much too complicated!
The rule is: Who can read is a clear advantage! While there are many rules, but they are logical and easy to understand. Read self is better than long Explain. What else: Just start playing, it works!

My conclusion: A must see, a big game!
