Looking for Games with a Similar feel to Catan – Ask the Bellhop

by 2 Comments

The first question we ever answered here at Tabletop Bellhop was about The Settlers of Catan. Today I'm answering a question that goes way back to that first blog post.

David RY, clicked Ask The Bellhop to ask:
I have some friends who ONLY want to play Catan (I got invited to what I thought was a board game night but was actually just their regular Catan tournament style night), and I’m wondering what would be some good follow up games?

Cities and Knights of Catan 12 Years Later

A question about Settlers of Catan was the first question I ever answered here on the blog. Our first ever podcast episode was all about Catan and the various editions and expansions.  You could almost say The Tabletop Bellhop started with Catan.

That's why I'm bringing back this classic review of Cities & Knights of Catan for #ThrowbackThursday.
Below you will find my original review,  with only very minor editing. I'm trying to keep the feel and tone of the original post. I will, at times, insert comments or corrections, and you will find these in [square brackets]. After the original post, you can find my current thoughts on the game reviewed. [ READ MORE ]
