Also many people call bricks “clay” due to earlier versions. I was surprised that Rodney did not address this. Probably because it is not official. Or that he didn’t mention it was once called Settlers of Catan. Calling it Catan seems weird as everyone used to call it “Setters”

My story. I am an avid magic the gathering player. One day in 2009 I was looking for something mtg related and came across bgg. That lead me to settlers of Catan. It is the first “designer” board game I bought. I now own over 100 board games. Most expensive google search ever. I introduced my brothers one friend to settlers and it blew his mind so much that he now has over 600 games. Crazy times.

similar story here, but early 2000s and I see some of the guys at "the shop" playing a game they called sheep. They taught it to me, and eventually bought it. We would play it all the time. lots of great times. Despite moving on, I still keep my copy because the guys may want to play it again some time.

Something similar happened to me. Once at lunch at work I saw a group of friends playing Tsuro, I asked if I could join and now I own around 20 different board games, and since we all play together really often we try to keep different board games from the rest, unless we really enjoy playing the game so much that we end with two copies in the group to play with family or similar.

I had always been a board game nut since I was a kid. Stratego, Risk and Clue being my favorites. When I was 20 I first discovered Settlers of Catan at a cast party with some friends. Cut to 17 years later I own 180+ games and go to conventions every year. Catan is The Godfather and for a good reason: this game still slaps.

This drives people to try to get more harbors and strategy is different. We are excited about getting expansions this holiday season. Thank you for the tutorial videos, all of them. I have used them as a reference for so many family game nights and they are great for seeing what games we may want to purchase next.

Thanks so much, I’m about to play this game with friends who play regularly and being a slow learner I was worried I’d be a burden and not pick it up quickly enough. I feel like I understand how the gameplay works now.

Nice video! Thanks, Rodney! I've been playing this game forever, so much so that I haven't read the rulebook in years! Funny story: when I first played Catan, I hated it. Turns out that the friend you taught me the game was so minded on winning that his attitude scared me away from this game. Couple years later, played Catan again with my wife and new friends who were more laid back. Loved it! Went to buy it the next morning. Catan has been a staple of my house's boardgaming habits for 13 years now. :)

The attitude of the people at the table makes SUCH a difference doesn't it? Many of my favorite games I know I wouldn't have enjoyed if I had played with a disagreeable group. So glad you found a more enjoyable group for Catan :)

Truly one of the best games ever. This game was an introduction to the hobby even though i played games like Clue and Monopoly, Nightmare, trivia pursuit, etc when i was a kid. This was the game that got me into collecting and playing board games. I still wanna see the blooper reel box flips tho. Ive tried the box flips just for shits and giggles its not easy.
