Many of us have been waiting for this today. Saturday October 23 Mayfair finally came out with their Settlers of Catan iphone/ipod touch app. if you don't care, please move along, but for many of us this is big news and highly anticipated Catan on appshopper or search for "catan" in the app store the current price is $4.99, which it is definitely worth. I'm not sure if they will offer a temporary price reduction at some point, typically highly anticipated apps will be regular price for a few weeks then if they have not made it to the top 50 list they will have a temporary price reduction to try to reach that list. Personally I think it may be a while before it goes on sale so I plan to go ahead and purchase it. please chime in your thoughts. App description: There is hardly a board game award that the "Settlers of Catan" game, created by Klaus Teuber, has not won. This classic has a global fan community and has been translated into 25 languages over its last 13 successful years.

You can trade with each other and claim the precious land with all its resources.
