Product Information:
- Embark on a quest to settle the isle of Catan! Guide your settlers to victory by clever trading and cunning development. But beware, someone might cut off your road or buy a monopoly. And you never know when the wily robber might steal some of your precious games
- Use resource combinations - grain, wool, ore, brick and lumber - to buy handy development cards and build roads, settlements and cities. Acquire your resources through trades, cards or lucky dice (even outside your turn)
- The basics of CATAN can be learned in just minutes, but it offers enough depth to remain compelling as you explore strategies and tactics for years to come. The random mix creates a different board virtually every game. No two games are the same.
- This fun family game is designed for 3 to 4 players and is suitable for ages 10 and older. Average playtime is approximately 60 minutes.

"Catan has very little interesting decision-making and far too much luck. Most of the interesting decisions are made during placement, and the majority of the game consists of rolling dice. The robber is a take-that mechanic that always feels punishing and mean. Development cards are a large price to pay for a random card that could win you the game or do nothing. The game goes on for far too long given how random and petty the gameplay is."
I think that Catan is fine with if you're new to it or new to board games, but as you play more and more (with others that are more experienced), it gets "old" and you can feel a lot of it depends on luck, as most people can see past the social aspect of the game (to try to get a take advantage over game)
The expansions do prolong some of that but you have to ask yourself if you want to invest in all that, vs finding the next board game to play.
