Landover

Many people will instantly recognize Landover as being very similar to Settlers of Catan. It is true that Landover shares many similarities and was inspired by Settlers of Catan and its expansion packs, Cities & Knights and Seafarers. I was very much a Catan enthusiast and played on many of the online sites including Asobrain and playcatan. After having tried Catan Universe, I realized that there were no longer any good places left to play Catan online, as asobrain’s technology was now defunct on modern browsers, and the Catan Universe UI was cumbersome and the game was riddled with bugs. In addition to not having any good online destinations for Settlers of Catan, I also realized that Catan needed some massive rule changes to improve the speed of the game, simplify the mechanics, and make the game easier to learn. Much like Hearthstone did for Magic the Gathering. Landover greatly improves Catan through simpler mechanics and less complexity while still staying true to the overall concept.
