Catan

Catan

1995
Strategy, Family
In Catan (formerly The Settlers of Catan), players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities, and roads. On each turn dice are rolled to determine what resources the island produces. Players collect these resources (cards)--wood, grain, brick, sheep, or stone--to build up their civilizations to get to 10 victory points and win the game.

I've never figured out how to win this damn game, but it's a good time regardless.

Simple and fast enough to play with your parents over the holidays. Easy to introduce friends to who are not boardgamers. With the expansions, it can be complex enough for more serious gamers. You can add enough variety to it to make it a quick play online. And the basic concept can be adapted to many iterations and spin-offs. It's the very definition of a gateway game. When I first discovered it, on New Year's Eve 2007, we played all night long.

Loses more and more luster the deeper I get into board games. It's got a place in a board game collection, it's just that place is in the back of the closet away from the things I would want to actually play regularly.

The base game is fun and certainly what started my (still burgeoning) interest in legitimate board games. When I first played it with a regular group of friends, we played waaaayyyy too much and I feel like we more or less exhausted all the possibilities. Luckily the expansion sets add a lot more complexity and variation (including the Game of Thrones edition I just got!)
