The best board game for strategy loversthat offers medium length games, very entertaining and whose operation is quite enjoyable and easy to learnr.
Catan is a strategy game in which you must reach the indicated points before your opponents. For this, you will have to build cities and create trade routes taking advantage of resources what the island offers you.
Depending on how you place the chips and the numbers you choose, you will receive one or another resources (wheat, clay, wood, stones and sheep), which you can exchange with your opponents negotiating with them. Cunning, therefore, also plays an important role in each game.
In total, Each game has an average duration of 75 minutes and admits between 3 and 4 players ages 10 or olderso it is perfect for those days when you want to spend an entertaining afternoon. And, although at first it may seem complex because of all the information you receive at once, as soon as you start playing everything becomes quite intuitive. In fact, One of its strong points is how quickly you learn to play and how easy it is.
A detail that I also love is that The layout of the map changes in each game and it is random, so no game is the same. AND with the numerous expansions that you already have available, you can expand up to 6 players.
An ideal option to get started in strategy games that everyone likes. Or at least that’s what I’ve been able to verify after years and years of talking to board game lovers. That’s why I think it’s such a good option to give as a gift this Christmas, especially now that you have it on sale.
