This looks to be great fun! However, I haven't tried it yet since I'm behind a firewall here at work that won't let me connect to the server.

Play an immigrant on the newly populated island of Catan. Build settlements, roads, and villages by taking commodities from the land around you. Turn a sheep, lumber, rocks and some grain into a settlement, bricks and wood into road, or try to complete other combinations for more advanced buildings and services. Take advantage of trades with other players, or at local seaports to get commodities you might lack. The first player to gain 10 points from a combination of roads, settlements, and special cards wins.

And, they are now offering a downloadable version of Catan over at Yahoo.

Catan

I gave it a whirl last night and really enjoyed it. Of course, I was jumping in without fully knowing the rules, so I got a little confused by things here and there (like why was I forced to discard 5 resource cards every once in while?). However, it seems like a darned entertaining little game!

The Yahoo game is downloadable, but it is a trial version that only lasts for an hour. You'll have to pay $20 for the full version.

The first link I gave is free, though, and completely online. It's just a java applet.
