A simple one one I’ve personally tried is adding a second robber, which lets players keep someone with a strong lead in check. Most variants people tend to play seem to revolve around the robber. But there is so much tweaking you can do with just the base game, if you feel the need. If you enjoy playing on the islands well enough, then Seafarers is a good investment. Yet for all these expansions, variations remain popular. To boldly go where no sheep has gone before. We now have historical Catan, space Catan, Atlantis Catan, Star Trek Catan… For those who relished the idea of militarizing their little island, Cities and Knight of Catan introduced a new mechanic that provided knights to defend your settlements from barbarians. In 1999, 5-6 player expansions were released to allow more people to get in on the same game. The style became so popular that in 1997, Seafarers of Catan was released, making the variant an official expansion. Many players started breaking the mainland into small island chains for a varied game experience. For example, the classic game takes place on a large island. Since its original release in 1995, Settlers has seen many rule variants from people eagerly looking to tweak its modest gameplay, and the publishers have noticed. I rarely meet anyone who does not enjoy the game after first playing or someone who objects to playing it again.
Instead, you race to gather resources and expand your little colony, all the while keeping distance between yourself and the other players. It mixes the right features that are simple enough to pick up: you compete with your opponents but do not directly attack them. It is in so many ways the gateway game, introducing unsuspecting people everywhere to the new world of modern board games.
