I generally try to not be a hater but Catan lacks really fun and interesting game mechanics that make me want to come back to a game.
A game in a similar category that is actually fun is Clank!, other fun board/card games are Dominion and 5-minute dungeon

or any board game turned app, really. its a good way to kill larger amounts of time and with long rounds there’s not any instant gratification. strategy games work your brain, too! i try to play a game of catan/ticket to ride/monopoly in the mornings instead of getting on reels or even PI right away. it makes me slow down and it puts my brain into gear, + i feel productive instead of gross and sluggish like i would post-reels.

Bunny Kingdom, My City, and 7 Wonders are three I would recommend outside of the classics like chess, Catan, or go. Bunny Kingdom is a fun strategy game that’s competitive but not vicious, played with passing decks and a traditional board and pieces; My City is a legacy game where each player has their own board, and the gameplay stacks in more complicated ways as you move through chapters; 7 Wonders is played on individual boards that play differently, and players compete for resources over multiple rounds to complete their individual boards and win points— they’re all pretty dynamic and fast moving games, and learning the rules isn’t over complicated but gameplay isn’t overly simple, which is very fun

That game sucks and people get so sweaty over it.
Why can’t we just enjoy each others company, drink a little wine, and listen to a good album?
Colonialism the Game is not where it’s at.
