Settlers of Catan now available on the Android Market.

The very popular board game called Settlers of Catan that we reported on a few weeks back has finally landed on the Android Market. This will make a lot of the fans of the game happy but it also does have a few things to consider before jumping right into it and downloading it.

Settlers of Catan has you going against AI opponents in a bid to dominate as much territory as you can. Similar to Risk-style games in nature, it comes with naval combat and other things you miss out in games such as Risk. Settlers of Catan is a turn-based strategy game so each turn you will gather resources, build your town(s) and expand.
