I am so happy I purchased these for our cards! For years I was always worried about them being destroyed from dirty fingers and use overtime. They fit each card perfectly, i’m happy we went with the matte version due to the listed benefits.
There are 95 resource cards plus 25 development cards in the base game of Catan. I’d recommend buying 2 packs to cover all the cards in the first game.
Will be repurchasing!
My GF wants to try this game for her first DM experience and this little booklet is the perfect gift for her first experience.
I purchased this game on something of a whim and was very pleasantly surprised at how smooth the game play was. For the price point and box size there is quite the gaming experience to discover here. It gives me strong Splendor vibes as I gain cards to my play area which give me resources to play more cards in future turns. It's not just a Splendor re-theme as there are some interesting twists, but it all comes together incredibly well. So well, in fact, that I can easily compare it to a classic like Splendor! Our games have run a little longer than a Splendor game does but it's a similar complexity level. There is a bit more iconography though it's quick and easy to catch onto. The cards and theme are incredibly fun, too.
A simple yet challenging game. I am a huge fan of easy to learn, hard to mastwr and this game is a decent example. It shines at higher player counts (3+) but plays well enough at 2 that we reach for it as our date night filler. Went back and forth on buying it for a long time but I'm super glad I finally bit the bullet.
