Customer Reviews
Returning home just in time for Christmas after a 15-month deployment to Iraq, I bought this set as a present to the entire family.
After we played one game so I could teach them the basics, they were HOOKED! From my non-gaming wife to my ultra-competitive teens to my "don't want to be left out" 11-year old, everyone LOVED the games! This is definitely off the charts on the fun meter. Educationally, it teaches real life lessons about supply and demand, personal interactions, integrity, disappointment and many valuable skills that apply to life in general. The playing cards and cardboard pieces will eventually wear out with the extensive use at our house. So, I anticipate being a future customer for replacement parts. Overall, this is the best game ever for a night of fun interaction with the entire family!
The game itself is awesome and I would encourage to buy the entire pack (regular settlers + knights + sea-farer).
My comments are more on what extra I would have wanted.
1) Instead of card-board, it should have been plastic. Essentially card-board starts to bend if the board is laid-out on a slightly uneven surface (say carpet).
2) The board should properly interlock. We sometimes have a hard time keeping the board intact (say if the dice accidentally rolls on the board, it messes it up).
One way to fix it to have magnetic surface.
3) I paid 150$ to get the entire pack. I wish they put all the bells/whistles into this pack. There are all sorts of variations available on the net. I think for 150$, it should be included.
The game itself is AWESOME and FUN. If you have 4-6 friends who enjoy indoor games, this is the best game to kill 2-2.5 hrs.
