Catan

50 out of 57 gamers thought this was helpful

Settlers of Catan is my all time favorite game. The digital version is awesome because it lets you play anywhere, anytime. It has provided me hours of entertainment waiting in lines and at restaurants. It is also a great way to get current norms hooked on gaming. As I have said before Catan is a great gateway game. However, with some people you pull out a board and pieces and the get intimidated, but just about everyone is familiar and at ease with phone apps.

Another reason to get this app is for the campaign option. Playing a straight custom game with bots, even if you can choose different difficulty levels, can get boring because unless you are just using this game as training wheels inevitably you are going to beat them. The campaigns spice up traditional Catan.

One of the biggest drawbacks to the digital version is it is very easy to figure out if someone has a resource with the trading function, also they don’t hide the last players resources when the bots are going so be careful when passing the device.
