Catan Mayfair Games Kid Wood Catan: Junior, Multicolor

Aersome strategy for kids who are even just 5! A must for these age group !

Very engaging game for 6-10 yes kids.

Item description says board is made of wood. But the delivered one is made of cardboard. Not worth for 3,000 rupees.

My husband and I have been playing the full version of Settlers of Catan since 1999 or so. We are fans! When our own children were 6 and 8, we wanted them to start to learn the game. I looked around a bit trying to decide whether to buy Family Settlers or Catan Jr. Ultimately, I decided on Catan Jr., and I'm glad I did. The reviews I read seemed to indicate that the Family version wasn't much different than the original, and since I already have the original, it just seemed that Catan Jr. was more what I was looking for. It is indeed a different, much simpler game, but one that I think will allow our kids to transition to the regular version much easier than if we just tried to start them on the original. Both the 6 and 8 year old had no trouble understanding or playing the game, and my husband and I still really enjoy playing it, too. If you've never played Settlers of Catan but are looking for a new board game to play with the kids, I would still recommend this highly. It is a lot of fun! I will say that if I didn't already know how to play Settlers of Catan, I think I would have found it a bit challenging to understand and teach it the first time. Not to say that the directions are poor, they are sound, but there is just an ease of play when you already know the basics. I would recommend looking at an online tutorial for the game after you've read through the directions. I did, and I found it really helpful. I also found Catan.com a helpful resource in trying to decide which version to buy for the kids. The game pieces and board seem decently made, too. There are lot of thick, cardboard type pieces that look like they will wear well. The ships and lairs are plastic. I have always found Settlers of Catan a really pretty board game, and this one is attractive, too.

Awesome game to play with kids ❤️

es muy buen juego para los niños, lo juego con mi hijo de 6 años y lo entendió muy bien, también lo pueden jugar otros miembros de la familia que no son muy adeptos a los juegos de mesa, como los abuelos, ya que es muy fácil de explicar

My husband and I are big Catan fans. We have the basic game and a few extensions and expansions. We couldn't wait for our son to be old enough to play Catan junior. The game was a hit, he loves it and so do we. It's enjoyable for adults as well since it's not too simple but simple enough for a kid to understand. I would highly recommend this game.

My 5 year old loves board games and has watched the grown ups play Settlers of CATAN for a while now so we thought we would introduce him to the junior version. He understood the game mechanics straight away and loves playing it. The theme is pirate so the resources are a little different from the adult version, but it still incorporates most of it’s gameplay such as the ‘robber’ which in this case is a ‘captain’ and instead of building roads and cities you build ships and lairs or trade for Coco the Parrot tiles which is like the Development Cards. I wish it would give you the option of where to place your first lair and ship though as this is one of the main strategies in Settlers of CATAN and I don’t think it would’ve made it too hard for juniors. Overall, there’s not much room for strategy planning as much of it is down to luck but I guess as a junior game for my 5 year old, will do now. I expect he will outgrow it by the time he’s 7 though and move onto the proper game, but it is a great introductory game for him nevertheless.
