I have played games as short as 15 to 20 minutes, and as long as two hours. Many agree that the game is best played with three to four people, and at least one reviewer likes it because you can play for as little or as long as you want: “I feel like Catan hits that sweet spot for game duration. “Resources can be traded with other players and rewards can be claimed (longest road, largest ‘army’) and as you work your way through the process of developing the land, the first player to reach ten points wins.” Another says, “The game is easy to pick up and the rules are straightforward.” But that’s probably why about 10 percent of five-star reviewers say it’s the strategy that makes this exciting. “The strategy is simple: collect resource cards (sheep, brick, stone, straw, and lumber) in order to build settlements, expand roads, and eventually build cities,” explains a reviewer. Over 17,000 people give this game five stars with many noting how fun and easy to learn it is. We put in about 10 games the first weekend we finally opened the box!,” one reviewer says. “We play with people who range in age from 8 to 72, enjoyable for all so far. A nice change of pace from puzzles and card games.” I have not laughed so hard playing a game.” This “Adulting” version is specifically skewed toward an older crowd, but perhaps the biggest indicator that this is truly a game adults will love is how well it works as a drinking game: “We got this during the Great Stay-in and I can’t recommend this enough, we had some wine and played this game with my family all stuck indoors together. “It was confusing at first but after playing it a couple times we really got the hang of it,” one player says. “Our friends LOVE it and we bring it to every board game night! I would HIGHLY recommend it.” Another reviewer says, “You’ll be surprised at the way people describe things and the answers that people give. Instead, each player puts a card on their head, using a headband, and then asks questions to figure what that card says. As the name of this game suggests, there’s no board for this game.
