toys & games: settlers of catan ...     toys & games:       The Settlers of Catan58 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 a great game I bought this game as a gift for my 20 yr old brother. It's a big hit with the young, sci-fi crowd. He and his friends have enjoyed getting together and playing interesting, out of the ordinary board games, and this game fits the bill. You can purchase an expansion pack seperately so that more people can play, but the original game is good for 4 players.             Settlers of Catan Bundle - 4th Ed (2007)17 reviews Mayfair Mayfair Fun family game! My son opened this game on Christmas Eve and we stayed up until dawn playing it! The directions look a bit intimidating - but you quickly catch on. Everyone is involved in every turn, so the pace is exciting. Plan to invest several hours!             Catan: Cities & Knights Expansion5 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 Family Fun! This is a wonderful, highly addictive family board game. We got the original Settlers for Christmas and loved it so in January we saw this at the toy store and thought we would try it. Well, 3 months later my wife and 10 year old daughter and I are still playing it almost every night. It is a little more challening than "Settlers" and has even more variations and strategy so I would not ...             Blokus Classic296 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Perfect Family Game for all Blokus is a very fun strategy game. My husband and I as well as our 15 yr old and 6 yr old all enjoy this game. It is easy enough to play for all, but is very challenging at the same time. This is a great pick for family game night and I think it makes a perfect holiday gift for those hard to buy for friends and family members.             Carcassonne Game65 reviews Dropship Solutions Dropship Solutions, 2001 Very good game This is one of the best games I own, certainly in the top three (among dozens). You build the "board" by players drawing tiles and placing them (according to simple rules) next to tiles that have already been played. It is an easy game to learn, but allows for a lot of long-term development in thinking up new stragegies for winning. The only thing that could get fuzzy was where the extent ...             Lost Cities38 reviews Dropship Solutions Dropship Solutions Portable and fun We found this game a couple of years ago and it is one of the frequently "returned to" games in our collection. The kids like it because they can get adults to play - the rules are not so intricate that we refuse to play. Setup is quick; games are long enough to be interesting, but not too long to put off until "later".             Rio Grande Games Puerto Rico30 reviews Rio Grande Rio Grande, 2007 Great game but a bit hard for children This is one of the best if not the best board game I've played. If you're looking for a strategic game, with no apparent path of victory(at least at first) then this is the game for you. There are many pieces and due to the non-apparent path to victory this game has a moderate learning curve. I'd recommend it for teenagers and above.             Ticket to Ride76 reviews Days of Wonder Days of Wonder, 2007 jersey girl I love this game. My brother got me into it, then i bought it and got my boyfriend into it, and now i bought the game for my uncle to play. Everyone loves it! and its easy to learn             Mayfair Games Catan Barbarians and Traders Expansion Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2008 Immerse yourself in The Settlers of Catan, with this deeply rich set of four variants and five compelling linkable scenarios.

It adds much game play value to the original base game (Settlers of Catan) and it allows for even more creativity in creation of your own game maps. Durability-wise, this expansion is the same as the other settlers games--the board pieces are on nice quality cardboard and the pieces are made of painted wood. The box this ...             Mayfair The Settlers of Catan Board Game213 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games Fun modification to the basic game We have probably played this game over a hundred times by now. As far as board games go, there is none better for good family fun. This game requires that players actually talk to each other, and the art of negotiation is a great thing to teach a kid. We have found though that some times one player has a huge advantage by getting the best placement. Sometimes it is hard to stop them, and ...             Settlers of Catan: Travel Edition5 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games Great game -- quick to learn & really fun party board game 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 ...             Settlers of Catan Card Game19 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games Totally Addictive We were given this game as a gift and were so addicted we purchased the board game version which is even more fun (but better for 3+ players). Anyone who visits at our house gets hooked as well. The card game is good for 2 players and makes a good gift at about $15-20, the board game is more like $30-40. We have also invested in some of the expansion sets and a computer version. Don't let the ...             Catan: Cities & Knights 5-6 Player Extension2 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 Love it love it love it! My entire family *loves* this game - including my 5 yr old. I love getting to see how the kids handle some grown up situations (like bartering for goods) and also interesting to watch them learn and develop interest in something that makes them think in different ways. There is a learning curve to this game, but that's part of the fun. From start to finish, this game holds the attention of ...             Catan: Seafarers 5-6 Player Extension - New 4th Edition!!!!!1 review Mayfair Games Mayfair Games, 2007 What a great expansion to the basic Settlers game. I absolutely love settlers, and my wife and I play with friends about once or twice a week. We only had the basic game for a long time, but we finally bit the bullet and bought seafarers, and are so glad that we did. Seafarers adds boats (which tend to make sheep more valuable as opposed to practically worthless in the basic game). We love having more variety of games, and play all the ...             Fishermen of Catan3 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games These Rock! This is the best of the Settlers of Catan add-ons. It features fish tiles that go over the blank ocean squares. Thus, if you've built on that square and roll the card's number (say a 6) in addition to all your resouurces, you get...fish! They're redeemable for tossing the robber back to the desert, and even roads and development cards. Makes worthless spaces much more useful and adds a great ...             Settlers of Catan River Tile4 reviews Mayfair Mayfair Settlers of Catan special game piece Thank you for using recycled paper for packing materials. Many thanks for serving your country be serving APO/FPO addresses!!! Fast service!             Power Grid15 reviews Rio Grande Rio Grande Better than Settlers of Catan? I love Settlers. Let's get that straight. Settlers is one of those games that I've been able to successfully introduce to many different types of friends, groups of people, and even my students (I'm a teacher in high school). I've met very few people who have not enjoyed the game. But, let's face it: the game is dictated almost solely by chance. You can plan strategies all you want, but if ...             Catan Event Cards7 reviews Mayfair Games Mayfair Games Great Fun! I very much enjoyed the Settlers of Catan Event Cards. The cards take the place of the dice and work very well. I really like the natural disasters (earthquake and plague) that can occur. It can really mess with planning and strategy but then cards like Year of Plenty gets played and it makes up for some of the bad stuff. Overall, it really didn't seem to change how often the numbers were ...              search for toys and games barbarians, blokus, board, bundle, carcassonne, cards, catan, cities, classic, edition, event, expansion, extension, fishermen, games, grande, grid, knights, mayfair, player, power, puerto, ride, river, seafarers, settlers, ticket, tile, traders, travel toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
