Dang… no reviews, no free codes… wondering where I’ve been the past couple of days? I’ve been parked on the couch playing Catan! Seriously, this game is addictive if you’re a strategic board game weirdo like me.
Catan, aka Settlers of Catan, has been around for a long time in various forms. I first played the board game version about five years ago and I’d completely forgotten how to play it, but USM’s iPhone Catan did a nice job of refreshing my memory. If you’re new to the game it might look overwhelming, but if you go through the in-game tutorials you shouldn’t have any trouble picking it up.
The basic gist is that you need to be the first one to collect a predetermined number of 8-12 Victory Points, and those points are earned by doing stuff like building towns, cities, and constructing the longest continuous road. In order to do these things, you’ll need to collect resources, trade with other players, and make strategic use of the game’s Development Cards. Again, it might sound complicated but once you get into it this is a really fun game!
