Q: Is this version different from Settlers of Catan? Is it an appropriate starter game?

Great family game, but very difficult to get started & figure out if no one has played before. We had a 13 & 15 yr old & 2 adults & struggled for a few turns till we got the knack of things. Took about 3 hours to play. Quite fun tho! Buying one for my sister's family now. Hope that helps.

Q: On a different site it says you can play with 2 players here its says 3 which is it?

My husband and I play all the time. We don't use the "robber" but, if you roll a 7, you DO get to take one of the other's cards. The game takes a bit longer and you should always make one of your first choices a "3 for 1" trade port or you could be stuck without moves for a long time. We have learned to place our original settlements where we can collect the necessary cards to build roads AND future settlements. We didn't play for over a year because we couldn't find anyone else to play. We love the game and finally gave it a go on our own. You have to adjust your strategy and it's a far different game than it is with 3 or 4 players but it's still lots of fun. We love it!

Q: What were the earlier editions of Catan like that they had to make more editions? Is the 5th a big improvement? How?

Of note, the sea 'tiles' in the newer versions link together to hold the board in place. In the older editions the sea was made up of hex tiles just like the land making for a more fragile play area. I learned this because newer expansions require the newer versions of the sea tiles to work correctly, so early edition game owners need to repurchase to use them.

Q: The contents listed above for 5th edition state that there are 16 road pieces. The 4th edition lists 60. I assume this is an error?

We do not have this in stock right now, so I cannot check it, but since this is not a listing that we created, I am guessing that it is an error. Barbara J., Customer Service Mgr., The Lake Arrowhead Company

"One-Hour Classic"

I've been playing CATAN for the last 8 years and it never gets old. Once you learn it, it's super fun—games average about an hour, so it's way shorter and smoother than Monopoly or Risk. Perfect mix of strategy, luck, and a little friendly rivalry!
