It is so rigged it's not even funny. DON"T BUY IT if you are used to playing the real game. The computer will stack up it's rolls against you and it isn't even fun. In the computers 50 or so rolls 1 player got the thief 27 times and another got him 14. I got him ONCE! Oh and when they do "randomly" select the resource. It is ALWAYS the one that will hurt you the most. I had 1 timber 3 brick and 4 grain and it chose the brick. If it hadn't have done the 3 TIMES IN A ROW I would have won the game but it kept me from being able to steal longest road from itself. THIS GAME IS SO RIGGED IT PISSES ME OFF THAT THEY PASS IT OFF LIKE IT IS EVEN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I play the OSX version a bit, and have noticed that the resource files are easy to get to, so I may replace the stock artwork with my own renderings... I would imagine the same could be done with the iPhone game. Also - what's with the couple of posters - one claiming Catan takes 2.5 hours, and another claiming it takes 4 hours to play a game? Basic Settlers takes 45min to AT MOST 1.5 hours... That's part of the appeal of the game... in the time it takes you to play, for instance 1 game of Monopoly you could play 6 games of Catan.

If they want to add expansions and what not later, fine, but get the first release right.

Big Huge Games did that version. Why do developers think that those graphics will fly on iDevices? They have to update them for me to buy it.

Graphics and game-play organization will make or break this game. If it looks anything like that mobilescreen shot above, I won't waste my money. I agree.

If they can port the XBox version I'll buy it, otherwise, this game is too graphically ugly and chunky for my taste. I've heard great things about the actual dead tree version.
