Catan Junior is an immensely popular board game. The junior version features beautiful graphics in sturdy material to tailor for younger ages. The rules are not overly simplified and still retains the principles of Catan. We had lots of fun playing it as a family, but it might take awhile for kids who are new to strategy board games to grasp. I love that it’s a great tool for training their focus and ability to handle multiple things at the same time!
