Yeah, these can definitely be a bit longer. Catan can also take a bit, though, particularly if you’re unlucky or playing with people that don’t trade (which can be frustrating).
For more beginner friendly + shorter games, though, I’d still recommend several over Catan:
- Carcassonne
- Ticket to Ride
- Splendor
- 7 Wonders
- Pandemic
- Codenames
- Azul
- shezi 6y agoThose are all excellent beginner friendly recommendations. In general, the Spiel des Jahres are quite good suggestions, offering enough depth for long-term play, yet being easy enough to learn.
- chrisweekly 6y agoThose are good games too, but Codenames (one of my all-time faves) is radically simpler, quieter and less social than Catan; IME it's great fun for the spymasters but can be less engaging for other players at times. (shrug)
