But if I want to sit around with a group of friends and laugh and enjoy one anothers' company, all while also playing a "designer board game" as these are something called that does involve strategy, tactics, and some of the mechanics I enjoy, Catan is certainly not alone on that list, but it is very much ON that list. Would I pull out Catan to play with strangers at the local game shop? No.
Would I want to play Catan if I were interested in an evening of deep strategy and heavy analysis? No there are other games I'd much prefer in that mood. It's especially fun because of the group dynamics that seem to come out in these games, and that's my number one reason for playing it. I'm sure there are games which do that, and though I can't specifically suggest one, what I can say is that the all around mix in Catan is fun. You'll rarely see a suggestion of a single game which offers the same mix of things as Catan. These are good lists, but notice something about them: it's always "this game for that element, that game for this other element, etc." You'll often see lists that go over different elements of Catan and suggest other games that do each better - indeed there are some replies here doing exactly that. I think what is easily missed in a lot of takes on Catan is that the game has a number of different sides to it and in Catan, you get them all at once. Like many others who have commented here, I like heavier, more complex games which don't rely so much on the randomness of something like a dice role, and I like some of the specific games people have proposed as "Catan alternates" - BUT I like Catan. r/tabletopgamedesign - Designer's subreddit.r/boardgameexchange - selling/buying/trading games.Game of the Week Calendar Related Sites & Subreddits The simplest use is to bold game names in your comment and add " /u/r2d8 getinfo" at the end of the post, but this post/sub has other features identified.
