β€œThe first time I played Catan, which was my first time playing anything other than "the classics" (Monopoly, Risk, etc). That was almost 30 years ago and I still remember the awe of the experience. It had never dawned on me that board game mechanics could evolve beyond what the "classics" offered. * Almost no down time what so ever - every dice rolls counts for everyone. * No one gets kicked out. Sure, you may be way behind, but you could still do your own thing. * Your success did not depend on the misery of your piers or crushing your mom's spirit ("Boardwalk! You owe me everything you have and then some."). * Easy negotiations and interactions between players. * Random board every time. * Considerable time save regarding the handling of currency. No small denominations, no change to be provided.”

β€œI’d never seen a board game quite like this before… Asymmetrical characters, cooperative, using cards as items/weapons, and not roll-and-move all blew my little mind… One Amazon delivery later, and I’m popping my first chits and poring over the instructions to get my head around it… Played it with flatmates, and never looked back… I’m now sat here with over 200 games on my shelves, but I still have a soft spot for DoW and all its flaws…”
