The Eurogame that is probably the most popular boardgame of all time probably due to the game containg large swaths of awesome. Players take on the roles of settlers of an island. They generate, trade and use five types of resources to build more settlements, roads, cities and development cards in order to acquire points. Typically, the winner is the first to reach ten points.
The game is reasonably easy to learn and serves as a good introduction to most other Eurogames. It suits between 3-4 players, or 5-6 players (with the relevant expansions).
