Great board game version, great way to make new friends.
I am a game lover. I like to study dynamics, mechanics and this game just hooked me in. I own the board version of Settlers of Catan and played it a lot with my friends before I ever get a xbox 360. I could say a lot abo... Read Full Review

Smart game. Great for short bursts of play.
In between playing "big" games, I find myself playing Catan. Its a smart turn-based resource management game. The graphics are rich and it runs smoothly. It's very faithful to the board game it is based on. Each time I p... Read Full Review

Fun, social with XBL and a great port of the classic boardgame
I love and still play Settlers of Catan (SOC) and its expansions in boardgame form. This is a wonderful and easy to play console version of that classic. Does it take a bit of time to get all the controls down? Yes, ... Read Full Review

A great game with great potential, but it is riddled with missing features to the point that I call it BROKEN.
Catan is great. I love Catan. I play the board game and I was quite excited at the prospect of not having to set up and pack away the numerous game peices. And they did a good job with the play and layout and graphics. ... Read Full Review

This is, quite simply, one of the most addictive games I have ever played.
I had never played the boardgame Catan before. In fact, I have never even heard of it. Then I saw this game pop up on Xbox Live and checked out the reviews. It sounded interesting and now I can't stop playing it! When I ... Read Full Review

Just like the board game, online you can always find someone to play against.
I am extremely biased as I think Settlers of Catan is probably the best board game ever made. This XBLA version takes everything from the game and makes it available for online play with achievements. This visuals are... Read Full Review

Worth the money.
I saw this game and it really lept out at me. I quickly picked one up at the local game store and played it on the way home. I was not disappointed. The game totally lived up to its hype. Graphically, the game looked am... Read Full Review

Catan’s solid, strategic gameplay is presented well, but its somewhat slow pace might put some people off.
The name “Monopoly” might be synonymous with board games, but Xbox Live Arcade’s first board game adaptation is based on a lesser known game. Catan is based upon “Settlers of Catan”, a German board game which tasks you w... Read Full Review

The dice are a definite problem and really hurt this great game
I have been playing this game almost daily for the past three months but lately it has become so frustrating that it is nearly impossible to play. It is obviously one of the best games ever invented and it has everything... Read Full Review
