Just go play it. If you like it, that's a great outcome I guess, you get to have fun.. If you don't, the answer to this question isn't relevant to you anyway.
I didn't marry my wife without fucking her first. Not going to buy something I know nothing about.
Fuck, it's a $30 game. You try to claim land, build roads, trade sheep for wood. There, convinced?

sort of why I put her back into the sea.
She would have never bit on your hook. She doesn't go for narcissistic self-absorbed (excessively redundant, but not redundant enough) retarded asshats like you.
Got one of those B&N 40% off coupons burning a hole in your pocket?
I picked up Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, and Dominion this week. The first two are casual board games that focus on strategic plotting of land or routes. Very easy to pick up, and lots of replay. Dominion is a deck builder card game that is a lot of fun. I usually play that once a week with friends. Finally broke down and bought my own set.
These games are a lot more causal than something like monopoly. A round can be played in as little as 30 minutes. I think Settlers is a little longer, although I haven't played that one personally. But they do offer some very fun strategy that isn't entirely stale from round to round.

A strategy board game where you try to settle as much land as possible. Best with 4 players and at least the seafarers expansion. Personally add seafarers and cities and knights expansion. Worth the investment... if you actively play board games with 4 players then yes. The 5-6 player expansion sucks though.
If you have to buy it to play it, it sounds like you don't know anyone who likes to play. I'd guess you won't enjoy it w/o friends who want to play.
That's what makes it a fun casual game. A game with no randomness is a game that's based entirely on skill. That's not a bad thing in and of itself, but that means the same person is likely to win every time as they are the most skilled. Randomness is a buffer against player skill; it allows mismatched groups of people to play together and still have a good time, which is what you're going for in a casual game.I like Carcassonne better, the rolls in Catan really take the strategy out of the game. For example, it claims 8's are most likely to be rolled when two 8's were rolled the entire night. It totally fcked me.
Actually, I was wondering if my kids might enjoy it.
I agree with you on the cities & knights but seafarers was really not as good as all it really added was the ability to make islands and then it was the same thing as the original.
