If you've played it, you know how clever and fun it is, and if you haven't, you may remember how excited everybody was when they heard it was being released for Xbox Live Arcade. The bottom line is, Settlers of Catan is an extremely good game and is frequently cited when discussing the modern board game industry. It's popular enough to have gone digital in a number of forms, from XBLA to N-Gage to blatant rip-offs in Second Life."
