The setting
of the popular Catan board game is combined with the narrative elements of DND
to produce an adventure game within the pages of a book. With 100 logic puzzles
to utilize, build and sustain your settlements on the island of Catan. I
understood from the very first handful of puzzles that my settlements were
going to be hard-pressed for resources. The logic puzzles are multifaceted,
working on spatial reasoning, complex sequencing and patterns, riddles, word
puzzles, and so much more. This is a necessarily consumable book. It may be
difficult to solve these puzzles without working them out on paper. Broken into
10 parts that focus on bettering your settlements and cities all with the end
goal of earning 10 victory points. Sounds easy enough, until you start working
on these puzzles! The beginning pages include check lists to mark your progress
and solutions to each puzzle are in the back. 224 pgs, pb. ~Rebecca
