Adding 2 more players to Catan really slows down the game. After a half-hour or so, I noticed other players constantly checking their phones and generally just not paying attention while others were completing their turns.

I think the greatest testament to the ease of learning and ultimate fun of this game is that everyone I’ve introduced to Catan loves it.

My only complaint is that my pieces don’t fit well together. :/

During the low levels, I love this game. However, during the higher levels, every class starts to get same-y.

Maybe some time should’ve spent on unbalancing the game well, rather than balancing the game perfectly.

After playing a bit of D&D fourth edition, I was ready to go back to the previous version of the game. Luckily for me, a friend of mine recommended Pathfinder.

I’m so glad he did. Classes are expanded, some mechanics are made easier, and I really enjoy the Golarion setting. I would recommend this to any gamer that misses D&D 3.5
