Cat & Mouse Game Store:

Linda says "If you want to introduce your kids to strategy board games, walk past the Monopoly and head straight for Catan Junior. This variant of the now-classic Settlers of Catan has a fun pirate theme that will really appeal to kids. Best of all, there are interesting strategic decisions to make throughout the game, and it doesn't drag on forever. It's the perfect choice for a fun-filled Family Game Night!
