My roommate's gf bugged me for weeks to play this with them, and I kept putting it off. I played it for the first time last week (no expansions), and it's ****ing awesome. Cant wait to try an expansion. I may even buy it for them, just so I can play.

The only problem with expansions is that they do literally add more dimensions to the game. While this is fantastic, it makes going back to Vanilla Catan all that much tougher.

You've gotta try Cities and Knights (upgrades your cities and add defenses), it's (imo) a better expansion than Seafarers (adds ships and water and potentially turns your 'continent' into 'islands'), but you can play both at the same time and they're both great.

Just as I said, good luck going back to the original, haha.

A game with the seafarer's expansion:
