My 5 y/o loves the junior version, I would think 10 is old enough for the full version especially if he has decent board game experience.

I'm certain your kid could handle the rules even with little to no prior experience (Catan is a "classic" gateway game at this stage) just don't be surprised if they have some difficulty with the overall strategy and resource management ("what should I be doing?"). Catan Jr. is a great game and a solid intro-Catan where they did indeed streamline Catan while keeping much of the feel (including griefing other players and wild luck - full disclosure, I'm not the biggest fan of Catan but I play it with the kids fairly often because it's the new Monopoly). I would only justify Catan Jr. with older kids if you're looking for something fast. There's still enough game in Catan Jr. for older kids (unlike, say, Castle Panic Jr. which is so simplified as to only be appropriate for the youngest of players), but if time isn't a factor, then Catan is probably worth the investment (since, as I suggested, I consider this a modern "classic" in the vein of Monopoly).

Good luck!
Jon

My 10 year old asked for Settlers of Catan (I've never played before, and I don't think he has, either). Do I want the adult version for him or the junior version?

I've been waiting for a discount on Ticket to Ride: San Francisco for some time despite the fact that I already own a copy of the incredibly comparable Ticket to Ride: London.

These mini-TTR games are the "step-up" game I use with the kids from Ticket to Ride: First Journey since the increased game choices are offset by the baked-in shorter play time. A game with young children takes longer to play than stated on the box but still fits within the context of a dinner game.

Good luck!
Jon

You will be fine. My wife and I started playing when our daughters were 11 and 9 and both of them could digest the rules and play. Dealing with the emotions of losing now that is the hard part but game agnostic.

Like everyone else said these are awesome games.

I have a 5 yr old and 7 yr old who plays with us quite often. I bought the junior version last year and they started on it and this week we introduced them to the adult version and they were easy to pick up. I have many expansion packs of Ticket to ride and Catan.

Highly recommend.

I just got wavelength and it is really fun. It is a this or that guessing game. Really fun with a group.

I play catan with my 9 year old nephew all the time. It's his favorite game. We played the adult version and he was able to pick it up very fast.

Any tips you could provide on general guidance to help them prioritize their strategy in the game... I'm asking for the the children of course. Roll

I ask in part because I know in Catan Jr. my son essentially loves the gambling associated with the Coco tiles. This tactic probably pays off more than it fails, as only occasionally does the tortoise beat the hare and should his Coco tile draw fail to come together someone with the right resources coming into play. someone with a more balanced/slow and steady approach to building is able to overtake the get rich quick scheme associated with those dang parrots. I'm assuming as he gets older he might catch on to how he could balance his strategy... but why when so many times the rush to Coco tiles actually pays off?

Good luck!
Jon

Get the adult. He's on the edge and will grow into it.
