    I wonder if you should just laminate your last couple of cards and start using dry erase markers for them to make them re-usable.

      That’s a great idea! Now I’m realizing that you could do that for games like Yahtzee too. Take care and thanks for commenting!

      I started doing that for all my roll/flip and write games. Except I choose to use vis-a-vis markers so that I don't accidentally erase anything.

    Laminate the sheets and use a dry erase marker! Can't wait to add this to my game library. I started with Catan Jr. for my kids, just got the family edition but looking for a faster game play.

      Laminating the sheets is an awesome idea! I love the family edition as well. What I appreciate about this version-other than the fast gameplay-is that the dice make it feel more like a Yahtzee hybrid. It changes it up enough from the original without losing the concept. Take care and thanks for reaching out!

    I've found that a $1 plastic crayon box is the perfect replacement for the original packaging, as long as you don't mind folding your score sheets in half (or printing them smaller).

      That’s awesome! Laminating is such a great way to go, especially if it’s a game that you can see yourself playing over and over again. I myself have played it more times than I can count. Take care and have a great day!

    I bought this and it's actually B to the A!!! 😅 I cut out a piece of clear plastic paper and a got a dry erase mini marker, will never have to replace parts 😂 I Cary this in my collar shirt pocket and frigging play it at work all the time 😊 highly recommended for peeps with withdrawal problems from needing to roll dice 😀

      I couldn't agree with you more! Out of all the games I own, Catan Dice gets played with more than 90% of my other games. The fact that it's your "to-go" game is fantastic! I take it with me anytime I travel anywhere, simply because--as you said--I always need to be rolling dice. Lol Take care and thanks for sharing!!

    Thanks for the review! I was hoping you might provide a quick overview of how the gameplay worked, but I appreciate your discussion of packaging and replacement parts. Also, it's pronounced "kuh-tawn".

    had been seeing this game at my local walmart for $15, but was a bit turned off by the packaging so never got it (have never played catan because i only ever buy games that can be played solo). i found it at a local place for $5 and figured what the heck and got it. wish i had got it sooner cause it's a lot of fun (and i'm a sucker for dice rolling games). i don't know why they decided to package it like they did. i'm only 2 games in (both on island one) and already wondering about running out of sheets to play. i might end up just using dice to keep track of score, as i have sooooo many extra dice, and tokens to mark off things i've built.

    • @gameswithdenverjames
      @gameswithdenverjames  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’m glad that you were able to get your hands on the game, and at such a great price! It’s one of my favorites. I’m with you on the packaging. I wish it came in a miniature box that mirrors the original Catan. That could’ve been really cool. And that’s a great idea with the extra dice and tokens! Others have commented and suggested laminating a few score sheets and getting dry-erase markers, which could end up being a game-changer. Take care and thanks for commenting!

    The Amazon price for this at over $12 is kind of a rip-off if you have a Target near by. It's on clearance. Just got mine for $4.64, just for the custom dice. Now to come up with some interesting variants for Rivals for Catan ;)

    • @gameswithdenverjames
      @gameswithdenverjames  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s a great price for an excellent game! I had to wait it out a bit on Amazon before it went on sale (I live on an island in Alaska, thus no Target). Happy gaming!

      @@gameswithdenverjames Rivals for Catan is an even better deal at $7 for a game with almost 200 cards. It's only two player but it's my all time favorite in the Catan franchise. Thinking of picking up multiple sets for tournament play. Sadly, I don't have any regular opponents in my life right now 😭

    • @gameswithdenverjames
      @gameswithdenverjames  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve definitely gotta add that to my game list! That sounds like a blast. It’s always so frustrating when you’re short on opponents to compete with, especially with such a great game.

    Can always pull a few pages out, and laminate them.. Then you just need the dice, and a dry erace marker.

    • @gameswithdenverjames
      @gameswithdenverjames  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! That’s a great idea. The same could be applied to other games like Yahtzee as well. Take care and thanks for commenting!

    Ive never played the game before, only watch lets plays of the digital version, but I saw it right now at wagreens for 12.99$. So 13plus tax isnt too bad.
    🤔 not sure how much the og game costs. As a solo player who like rolling dice~, it would be fun to learn.

    • @gameswithdenverjames
      @gameswithdenverjames  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s a really fun game! It’s a bit of a hybrid between Catan and Yahtzee. My only complaint is the lack of a box, but other than that it’s great.
      As for the og game, it runs anywhere from $35-$50 on Amazon, depending on whether or not it’s on sale. That’s a fun one as well.
      Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
