   It's Catan. Long-time classic, with many variants. Got this b/c (believe it or not) we didn't have a copy. Have a couple of "off-shoots" (Star Trek Catan, Settlers of America, Settlers of Canaan). Decided this was the time to get "the original". Nice edition, nice sorting inserts, card sleeves included, etc. We're pleased. Played on Boxing Day (yesterday!). Nice components, etc. Game play is easy to pick up, makes a great family game.

   I actually have something that is called a Deluxe Box, an Indigo exclusive. It is very similar, as all the same expansions, which are the 5-6 player expansion and the helpers, and online game code are included, and there are two card trays, but the only differences are that the wooden meeples are basically the regular ones, and there are no sleeves included. I got it for 40% off, which would make it the same price as the regular one, so I thought it was a good deal. There are two misprinted border pieces, but at least the replacements are already in the box. As for the game itself, I have only played the regular version, which is a classic at this point, so I would like to see how the expansions play. 7/10

   Unimpressed by the quality, eg sleeved cards do not easily fit in game trays. A massively missed opportunity for the 25th anniversary of a classic game.
