CATANDice Game - Portable Fun for On-the-Go Adventures! Strategy Game, Family Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 7+, 1-4 Players, 15-30 Minute Playtime, Made by CATAN Studio

Easy to learn! Seniors game day was a success. At our age we are looking for fun ways to stimulate our brains. This game gave us the perfect challenge and fun we wanted. similar to other dice games it has an element of chance coupled with strategy. Everything is clearly on the individual score sheets as a reminder so no one feels like they are unable to participate.I love the actual board game myself but this version was perfect for those who were frustrated learning play before. Now we all like playing Catan.

If you love Catan, you’ll love this Catan dice game. I got it to play when traveling on vacation with my 7yo who loves the board game.

This is a nice and simple version to play. They simplified the original game, and made this very easy to travel with. You will run out of sheets if you play this a lot, but you could even print more copies of the sheets if you do run into that.

I bought this to play with the kids as we have just gotten into the full board game. It was so cheap, I got it mostly for the novelty but it has turned out to be a lot of fun. It would be a perfect item to take on vacation or if you’re just looking to kill a half hour at home. If you have that Catan itch but don’t have a few hours available, this is a fun alternative.I’m a bit perplexed by some of the negative reviews calling out the game as being overly simplistic. Obviously this isn’t going to be a one-for-one replacement for the full game but what were you expecting for a dice game that cost you six bucks? Yes, a lot of this game is dependent on luck but there is also room for some strategic decision making and elements of risk taking involved.I’m giving this four stars though because you do have a finite amount of game sheets to use and as far as I can tell there’s no way to order replacement pads. Granted, it’s not like it would be that costly to buy the whole game all over again but then I have a bunch of extra dice that I don’t need. I would have been willing to spend a few dollars more if the game just came with four permanent game cards that you could use a dry erase marker on. As it is, I laminated some of the game sheets with packing tape so we don’t run out.It would also be nice if the game came in a box that we could use for storage.

Simple rules, easy to teach and learn, fun play without the competitive edginess that Catan normally has.

I used to play this on my lunchbreak with my coworkers. It's a very short game with easy rules and is also very portable. I moved on to a different job years ago and hadn't played it in ages but a friend reminded me it existed so I bought it to play with my kids, and I'm now enjoying it with my kids as much as I did back in the day. It's a great after-dinner family game if you want something easy to learn and fast to play!

Regular board-based Catan is fun, but can take too long. This abridged version has two methods of gameplay and is more fun than the original!

2 different games on one sheet. I love it, it’s fast (almost almost too fast!), you can have a lot of players and awesome for travel!!! Highly recommended!
