Naye745 posted... honestly catan is pretty good for what it is some games where the numbers line up just wrong can devolve into one person getting cities fast and running away, but usually the player interaction (via trading and the robber) helps balance the game out and savvy negotiation is key i don't really play it anymore (i've played it out at this point) but its expansions are all pretty decent and do a good job at moving the game in different directions if you want more catan i would be interested in trying expansions but have no desire to buy them, or make the game particularly longer. if they do something about the space crunch, maybe. fall-behind losers concern me more than runaway leaders!Tom Bombadil posted... Catan has a special place in my heart but it does not hold up that great against the litany of games I've played since. It is indeed the dang worst game in which to fall behind, which was usually my role. Got some fun expansions tho. catan wasn't my gateway so i never "outgrew" it. i kinda admire its simplicity; something of its rule capacity might be a good 2p game for me ... --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:932541404] in another ye...
