Board games nerds, lend me your ears! Whether you already played the German board game
Settlers of Catan in its original board game form or you discovered it through the Xbox Live Arcade version,you know it can be very addictive if you're a fan of such noble pastimes as sheep trading. You'll be happy to hear that a DS version of the game has been announced, which will likely be a lot wasier to tote around than the
travel version of the board game.
The game is actually a port of Catan: The First Island, which was originally released on mobile phones, so it will be different from the version you may be used to from Xbox Live Arcade. The original does contain multiplayer, so we can likely expect the same from the DS incarnation.
No details on a release date have been specified, but we'll keep you updated. Catan is one of my favorite multiplayer games, so I'm looking forward to being able to steal resources from my friends on the go as soon as possible!
