Review: A "family" edition that can only accomdate 4 players and it's not expandable? Seriously? - Love this game - it's exactly like the original with a slightly smaller game board that's actually much easier to put together and has cheaper plastic game pieces . . . so it's perfect for the family - EXCEPT IT'S NOT EXPANDABLE! How do you call it a "family" game but you can't have more than 4 players and you can't expand it (even by buying a second game, because of the way the game board pieces fit together).
Review: GREAT game for many years, ages, and fun - I love strategy games, and this is a great one for it...!! As my daughters grew older we went from catan junior to the family edition and with all the upgrades of the gameplay it is amazing how the same concept is "reinvested" to be something even more interesting!! Even the junior version is still fun to play, it goes quicker, but this version is more challenging. I am very very impressed with the game design the thinking of the strategy it creates in all players. hats off to the developers of this game!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this catan family bundle and settlers of catan?**
A: Family Edition is meant to be a more streamlined setup, but the game itself is the same rules. 

Instead of having every shore, hex, and number piece be separate, it combines several so there are only 6 chunks to piece together instead of  the original 43.

Also, the artwork is different, the pieces are plastic instead of wood, the cards are mini size, and it is not compatible with most standard Catan expansions/extensions.

If you want an actual kid-friendly version, there is Catan Junior, otherwise I would just get the standard edition...unless you really think the standard set-up is that much of a hassle.

**Q: Could an 8 and half year old grasp the concepts and play?**
A: We taught our 4.5 year old and developed an alliance system where he has his own pieces but we team up (2 per team) and work together to collect a total of 20 victory points per team i stead of 10 ea.  It adds a new level of strategy for our older child and helps the little one learn while having an adult help. Now he is almost 6 and can play independently.

**Q: How young of a player could still enjoy this version?**
A: The folks above are right - a fairly sharp 7 or 8 year old can hang.  I played with my daughter (12) and two sons (just turned 9 and almost 8).  They loved it

I coached the youngest one strategy early on but by mid game he had it down.

If your kids like card games or Pokémon or Minecraft they probably will enjoy this.

**Q: Which Catan game would be best to start with???**
A: The base game is great! The family edition board has only 6 pieces for limited board variations. I recommend the base game with the extension pack so you can go up to 6 players. It does not matter which variant, Star Trek, Ancient Egypt, or original the game is the same only the pieces and resources are different. ENJOY!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic game!
*by L***I on August 10, 2020*

Bought this game to have something new to play during the Pandemic. Have always wanted to play Catan, but never had. So figured I would try the less expensive "Family Edition". The pieces that make up the world of Catan are made of thick card stock and good quality. The settlements, cities, roads and the thief are made of plastic, where the traditional Catan, they are made of wood I believe. The plastic pieces account for the lower price. There is less variation in the hex pieces, as they are not separated like in the original Catan. We love this game! The three of us, including my 10 y/o play it frequently. It was easy for me to learn and teach the others in my family. You are involved in every turn with the trade action. You roll dice, produce goods, trade, and build. So much going on in this game. It's a race to 10 points and its not that easy to get there. You build settlements and roads. You upgrade your settlements to cities for more points. There are "development cards" that you can obtain and affect the game. Such a fantastic game and we will be playing it for a long time. Our first game was very long, but after a few plays, we can go much faster which makes it a much more enjoyable game.
