mom31257 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Has anyone played the Histories games by Settlers of Catan? I am particularly interested in Settlers of America and Struggle for Rome. Are they as good as the original game? Our family really enjoys it. Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 :bigear: Saw the American History one in Barnes and Noble and gasped at the price ($55!) But I thought the original Settlers game was expensive, and we have enjoyed it more than any game we have ever played. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Aubrey Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We've got Settlers of the Stone Age & Trails to Rails. Stone Age is really great--besides being fun, you can *see* the early history in a way that you can't if you just read about it. It facilitates conversations, etc. And on a fun scale, I'd say it's about equal to the original Settlers. Trails to Rails...more than ever makes me wish there was a way to rent or borrow these expensive games. (It's less on Amazon than B&N.) It's fine, ds *loves* it, but...it's not my favorite.

readwithem Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks! Anyone use the Rome game? We love the Rome game. It's different enough from the original game to make it worthwhile. You have foot armies, calvary armies, and have to "settle" (not sure whether that's the right word) in 5 different locations. Everybody gets resources and a chance to take actions on every move.

Melinda in VT Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We have Struggle for Rome and the Stone Age one. We like them, but not as much as the original or Cities and Knights. (Cities and Knights is our favorite.) Although, to be honest, part of the issue may be that life has gotten busier and we don't have the time to spend playing games.
