For many, this is the definitive game that reintroduces them to board games. It has hexagon shaped board pieces that make the game's board unique every time it is played. Coupled this with the 'easy to pick up' rules and you have a game that is a sure hit with anyone. As a stand alone game it is brilliant and needs nothing else but if you enjoy it so much you want to extend it them we thoroughly recommend checking out the available extensions for it in our specially devoted Catan category.
