Settlers of Catan: Travel Edition
Hardcore “german” board game grognards will complain about this game relying too much on luck (there are dice), but to me that’s like saying that Poker isn’t strategic and interesting because you’re drawing cards from a deck.
This game is easy to learn, fun to play with good friends, and allows for both casual and more hardcore gamers to sit around the same board and have fun.
I highly recommend it!

This is a really fun game. I did not understand from the description that I was getting a smaller (travel) version of the game but it’s OK for the price. I have not played the travel version because they are gifts so I can’t really say much about how the travel version compares to the bigger version.

A few notes:
-Lots of tiny pieces; hard to see some of the symbols. I cannot imagine trying to play this game in actual travel conditions, such as a train or plane (plane especially, since you really have to have 3-4 players).
-There are no extra pieces, so if you lose one of those tiny little things (i.e. in some well-placed crack on the train) you are out of luck!
-NOT a 2-person game as the Amazon site claims. Sure, you can play it as a 2-person game (search the internet for 2-player Catan) but it is designed for 3-4 players.
-Otherwise, game play is good, but given the comments above I question my decision to purchase this over the regular edition.

My college chums and I play about 2 to 3 games of Settlers a day. We play one on one, we play with the six player expansion, we play instead of going to class. So naturally when we spent two weeks in china we had to find some way to bring settlers with us. Here’s the problem with this travel version: it changes the game. Whoever made this edition obviously was not a settlers player himself. The desert is pderminantly fixed in the middle? Perminant? The middle? Thats right, sports fans, every game must be played on a donout version of Catan. I modified my set with a sharpie and some cardboard, but be warned that if you want to play real settlers you will need to do this two. Travel editions shouldnt simplify the game.
