Fantastic game!
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.

Quicker set up, but...
I like this version of Caton because it is faster to set up. It is pretty neat how it is designed. If playing with older first time players or a group where more than one player has never played it is nice, but if you are not in a hurry and want the best most varied experience I would recommend normal Caton so you can add expansions, cities and knights, etc. If playing with younger or not so smart players I recommend Caton Jr as it is a great introduction for kids around 6. Once they have played it this family version is a nice step up, but not necessary if there is an adult or older person around to help with normal Caton board set up.

Been playing for days!
Catan is my favorite game so I decided to get a set for the family for less than the original price. Pro: almost identical rules to the original game for half the price. Cute little cards and graphics that I prefer over the original Con: my biggest con would be the resources pieces aren’t customizable and the numbers are fixed. Yes you can flip parts around for a little change here and there but overtime it becomes too similar. Also the pieces aren’t real wood like the original but no complaints because doesn’t make a huge difference. Lastly, this version isn’t compatible for extension. Overall, if you don’t mind the little differences for half the price, go for it

Got my 6 year old into Settlers
Got this for our 6 year old who loves games and liked to help me play settlers on the ipad. It’s a great edition for kids (and grandparents) to help them get the basics down. Pretty cheaply made though and I recommend fabricating little lids for the pieces out of styrofoam or cardboard. Seems like they could of spent probably less than a dollar more on production to make this significantly less cheap looking. That said, the game board “tiles” are just fine and over all it’s totally worth ~$20 just to get my kids into Settlers.

A game everyone in my family loves!
If your looking for an extension this is not it! The family edition has its own board that doesn’t work with the original Catan and its extensions. However this is a great size for taking with you on the go. It’s a perfect for shorter games. Quick to set up as most board pieces are attached together. Board pieces are double sided so you can still have a slight variation. This is a great game that my entire family loves!

Compelling & fun...a classic!
Catan is a fascinating & fun game which I'm just starting to get to grips with. The family edition can be played with 2 players which makes it very accessible. Like all the best games it has a clever scenario but simple rules so you can understand the basic principles without having to refer to the instructions. The aim is to be the first to score 10 points, and this is done by using your resources - timber, livestock, food, brick and ore, which are gathered each time the dice is rolled - to buy & build settlements or cities, or to buy development cards which can sometimes swing the game in your direction. It involves a brilliant combination of skill and luck, and one of the most exciting aspects of it is that a player can suddenly and unexpectly have a windfall of points and win, which gives an edginess to playing that many other games don't have. Highly recommended for anyone who loves ingenious board games....definitely a classic!

Good starter Catan game
We bought this game to help bridge our family into the Catan universe. Having played the original Catan game at an adult friends house I decided I wanted to introduce my daughter to the game (she is 11). This is a wonderful starter/family version of the game. We absolutely love it. We will look at getting the original game and expansions after she turns 12 but for now this game satisfies us very well (there are three of us total). I am so very happy with this family version.
