If you're a fan of turn based strategy games like Civ or TCG's like Hearthstone or Magic, this is highly recommended. I read a lot of negative reviews about this game and had to leave a positive one. It's not perfect, especially if you're a huge fan of Catan you might see flaws. But it's got a lot of renditions of the rules including expansions, has a solid tutorial, and competitive online play with an ELO system. If you're newer to Catan and looking to up your skills, I'd say this is perfect for you. It's on Mobile, Steam, Browser, you can't ask for much more than that. Plus it's free. I spent the 5 dollars for the base game because I ended up spending a few hours a day over the course of a week playing. Matchmaking only takes a minute or two to get into a game. No complaints from me in about 10~ hrs of play.

My cousin just introduced me to Catan after years of wanting to try it and I wanted to practice to be able to beat him and maybe go out to a game night at a bar and play out with him. Not disappointed one bit.
