Brian Bickerton - "Deceptively simple, impossible to master. The board is made of a series of hexagonal tiles, shuffled and randomly arranged every game. These tiles represent resource types. Players build settlements on vertexes and roads on edges. First one to 10 points wins. Trade, ally, lie, do what it takes to pull ahead! We play this for hours at a time." (link to entry)
Francois Kashy - "Fun turn-based strategy board game based on growth and trade on a small island. Easy for all ages to learn, fosters planning and thought rather than random chance and conflict. Several expansions available too. Excellent game." (link to entry)
Larry Winckles - "This game was my first introduction to Eurogaming, and still remains a family favorite. There is a bit of a learning curve for first time players, because you don't just roll the dice and move. Highly recommended!" (link to entry)
Shannon Clark - "I missed Settlers when it first came out for lack of people to play boardgames with, as a result I have only played a few times on only very recently finally bought a copy - looking to play many more times!" (link to entry)
Gary M - "When this game suddenly turns into two hours, I'm no longer having fun, but for the most part, pretty enjoyable. I can be very very stingy with my resources. I become an a-hole with this game." (link to entry)
Bonnie Fleischmann - "My son plays this game and got my husband and me hooked. The more you play the better you get at the strategy and you want to play "just one more game". Great fun." (link to entry)
Moni M - "The best part is the trading and alliances that happens outside of the board -- the interactions between each player and the way each individual negotiates. " (link to entry)
