What do we all like about Die Siedler von Catan? Multiplayer. Some players have an excess of some resources and a shortage of others, providing a natural incentive to trade. Very simple game mechanics. A different board each time we play. Short turns and a reasonably short game. Frequent decisions about how to use your resource cards best and whether to risk building up a big hand.
