I don't need a board, one of the great things about this game is the box size. I prefer it to regular Catan, I never really warmed to the trading mechanic (& consequently the table talk related to it) in regular Catan. Now that we are relegated almost exclusively to 2 players in our games, all the more reason to prefer this one. We've had it for several years now & whenever we play we just play the base game. I found our copy in the secondary market for well under $20, another reason to like it:) Maybe we will try the expansions next time we play!

Thanks for the comments. It’s fun with or without a board, for sure.
