The Settlers of Catan from Mayfair Games has become an award winning strategy game where players will collect resources and use them to build roads, settlements and cities on their way to victory. The board of the game itself is variable, making each game play different from the next. Each round of The Settlers of Catan is intended to keep three or four players ages 10 and above engaged for up to 90 minutes.

Players roll the dice and receive resources based on the terrains to which their settlements are adjacent. The terrains all have numbers which correspond to the numbers on the dice. The missing number is seven which represents a robber who can take resources from players. There are online tutorials for those who would like to learn more about this game of strategy. There is also an online version of the game for people that are so inclined to sit down with friends and  play board games.

The game has 19 terrains and 9 harbors to win in the game, and winning them will all depend on the player's strategy and luck when rolling the dice.
