Pros & Cons
Pros
Fun, two player game, with a good amount of depth and complexity. They love catan but needing 3-4 players. It provides opportunites for good dynamics between players. In situations where there arent more than two players available( home scenario) this... Read More
Game shows some similarities to the original settlers of catan board game. It has a lot of the elements of original settler, but in card form. It plays even better than settlers, with the exception of some of the event cards which don't end up getting... Read More
This card game fills in two player gap, and does so with style. There are four different eras that you can play, so the sets of cards give you different options so the game doesn't get repetitive. Can seem a little complicated on the initial set up an... Read More
The game itself has a slight learning curve for the mechanics. It has stages built into it for initially simpler game play, and more complicated during later game sessions.
Cons
My wife and i are big gamers and this was complicated, confusing, and generally not fun - with poorly written instructions. I was disappointed with this game, especially compared to the 3-4 person settlers version. Will avoid the company in the future... Read More
Highlights
Quality
On top of that you finally can play with the basic plus all the expansions in one mega game
We have only played a few times but we are ranking it up there with the likes of battle line and lost cities
Takes a while to figure out but if youre up for it theres so much to do with the game
Anyway thats a minor point and has nothing to do with the game play
Price
Very fun game but i think the price is a bit steep considering you can adapt the regular catan game for 2 players
Packaging/appearance
I love the packaging and the game is really beautiful to play
Competitiveness
A little more challenging to learn but after a couple of rounds you will develop multiple strategies for competition

It shows some similarities to the original settlers of catan board game using the same resources and using some of the same building types but really it is a completely different game

Its a shame that its only for 2 players but honestly more than that would get too crazy

Dont buy this game if you dont want to fall in love with it

Can seem a little complicated on the initial set up and needs a lot of table space to spread the cards out

I have always been a fan of the settlers of catan board game but it requires a minimum of three people to play

I would generally advise to get the standard version simply because of the multiplayer aspect but in my case for now a 2 player version was enough

Be prepared to give this game 12 hrs of your time when you sit down to play it

My wife and i love playing board games but very few are built just for two people and seem too simple with so few players
