If you like the Settlers of Catan very much or you have not played the Settlers of Catan but want to, this computer based game is a "why-not" choice. Look at the image, isn't it cool? The computer game is designed quite well. The layout looks exactly like the Settlers of Catan. The hex, the island, the settlement, the city, the robber, the harbor, and the dessert. The cool thing is that the computer computes everything for you: how many resource card you have, how many roads you have, how many settlements you have, how many cities you have, and how many dev cards you have. Not only that, the computer lists how many resource cards your rivals have, how many roads your rivals have, etc. Of course the game has some limits: for instance, you can give out one card and get five cards back if you play well. In reality, I don't think any rival will give you five cards for one card. Because you can compress four identical cards for something else. Regardless of limits, this game is a well done.Monday, January 7, 2008
