Catan Dice Game Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item from a well-known on-line bookseller, so I can not comment on Amazon's shipping or delivery. I can comment on the game itself, though.
I am a big fan of the whole Catan series. I have many of the sets and expansions and have been playing since college well over a decade ago. When I saw this version, I was excited by the promise of portability and simplicity. After receiving it, my girlfriend and I played many times in the few weeks we have owned it. It has met all of my expectations and more.
The game is extremely portable and very simple and quick to play. The rules are slightly strange with an initial read, but after playing once, it became clear what they were trying to say. I think it might be a translation issue?
Here is what I mean: The rules say that you mark your little score sheets each turn with your results. They say that this includes coloring in or circling elements of the score sheet. I was very confused by what they meant, so just started playing. Very quickly, I realized that they were simply suggesting ways to keep track of progress. The score sheets have a very visual style of keeping track of points, so by coloring in or circling a player can easily see their own advancement on the "playing board." Likely, they did this to keep a feeling for the original hex tile-games. By coloring/circling elements on the "board" the player can see their progress in a different way. Very helpful for players with visual learning styles, by the way.
In the end, the game appeals to lovers of dice games as well as lovers of Catan. if you are either one of those, give it a shot!
Pros: -Super portable
-Good construction
-Visually appealing
Cons: -Rules a little odd to start
-No baby pencils included (or baby pens)
