Settlers of Catan: Gallery Edition (2008)

In the Settlers of Catan Gallery Edition, the award-winning game is simplified and reduced in price to allow for quick play and introduction to casual players. The Settlers of Catan are once again traveling through the lands of Catan, racing to develop their settlements.

Players are now able to gain the flavour of the popular board game within 60–90 minutes with simplified rules that allow quick game setup and learning. The Catan board game continues to have the popular modular board and the variety of strategic options available that made the original Settlers of Catan game so popular.

Contrast to Simply Catan:

• Simply Catan had hex strips, Gallery Edition has Hex-patches of 6 Hex that are smaller than SoC-Base Game.
• Simply Catan has two rule sets--advanced, the original Settler of Catan rules and a beginner's (variant), victory at 7 points and development cards not used.
• Gallery Edition has one rule set, the original Settler of Catan rules.
• Simply Catan was only available at SimplyFun sellers, Gallery Edition will be available at most other POGI (Points of gaming-interests).
