Gave me all I wanted to know... most of the other intro games went over advanced strategy and personal tactics, and didn't say much on the actual game basics.
they should make another catan expansion with assassin carD in it, meaning to win a game and gain more turf you can kill another foes soldiers or degrate a castle with a house. (killed leader of the castle)
Well done but don't forget that Andy was the original King of Catan!! Haha. Liked your review of Descent too (but seems really similar to the now OOP Warhammer Quest which is still awesome). When I get the chance I'll watch your other reviews.
Settlers of Catan are UNFAIR and OPPRESSIVE to the aboriginal native Catanese people! They drive us off our land from economic pressures and force us to hide out in the desert and steal shit! The Great Earth Mother screams from being torn up and parcelled into unnatural hexagons. Play the new realistic game, NATIVE RESERVATION CASINOS OF CATAN and make some moolah back from Whitey!
2:10 "I've got wood for sheep." hahahah. But I think the resource is called wool now. Was it ever called sheep? I can see why people changed it, then?
@Dracopol Its what you want to call it. We have taken to call it shoarma and if someone has lots of sheep (s)he'll say i know what I'll have for dinner tonight xD
I love this game, i discovered it on xbox live but have since gone on to buy the actual board game aswell as the 5 - 6 player extension. Nothing beats sitting down with some mates and playing this game. its simple, fun and you can get through the game in a sensible amount of time. 5 stars for the Settlers of Catan.
@chunkiebob anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half to 2 hours. this depends on the number of players you have and if you created an expanded random events generator for the game
Hahaha! I recognize this music from an open source site! I used it as the background for a training video I made on how to use a microscope, nicely chosen!
My brother brought it from Germany before it was available in the UK. We changed a couple of the rules. When starting, instead of first settlements being put on in the order player 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, we changed it to players 1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1, made going first less of an advantage. We discount 7's in the first round, this saved the last player having the chance of losing a "road" if he had wood and brick from one of his settlements. We play to 12 points as 10 is over too quickly. AWESOME GAME
I played this game almost every day last month. I turned one soldier card into a Nuke just to make things more interesting. What it did was it destroyed one development of your choice. Like a city will become NOTHING. No settlement or anything.
this game is far better than A N Y Pc game i have ever palyed! (and i love my pc games, so thats saying alot!) i play this like 6 times a week, onr time we played for 20 hours str8!
Looks very fun, and good video. I was looking for an introduction to the game as I've been invited to play it, and you gave a very clear presentation of its basics. It even made me want to play!
Possibly the friendliest YouTube comment board ever. Good explanation and Awesome game. I'll be using this from now on instead of explaining it myself. Best part about the game- you can really play ir with anyone from any culture or language- there is no barrier except the instruction manual.
Check out our live play by play commentary of Settlers of Catan! We also cover tips and strategies as the game unfolds to help new players learn. Let us know what you think! :D
This game is addicting, each of my sisters owns the game with the 5-6 player expansions one of them even has a spare that she keeps in the trunk of the car (boot- for our Brit pals) for emergency games. Brick for a hay anyone!?
Thanks Kerbster, I was looking for an overview of the game and found it here. Very informative and your detailed review of the game elements at the end was cool.
great review - i really want to order it now - look forward to watching your other reviews - thanks for talking the time to make it and upload it - cheers!
good review except the 'wood for sheep' pun. if i were playing a board game and someone said something like that, i would slice their head off with a Catan-a
I liked your first video board game review.

as far as i know the original rules are 1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1 ;)
Maybe old rules were like that and they changed that one quickly
As for now there are other differences in the rules like playing the knight before rolling instead of after rolling the dices
You should play the game on the catan online World! and settle in World Village Have fun!
