If your a fan of the board game and have no one to play with, this is a good purchase. It is cheap and true to the game
However it is not the greatest visually. Graphically it is pretty bare bones. The board is just like the real thing, however less distinguishable on the screen and not right in front of you. Also the trade windows and options in general, are kinda clunky, not intuitive and a little annoying to deal with at first. When playing the computer, time between roles and annoying trade requests are a let down. The designers could have really tried to make it a bit more snazzy, legible and user friendly, or at least put a little more style into it.
All in all it is pretty much the original game to the T. So if your a fan, you will not be let down. You can't go wrong with a little Catan dice rollin.
