Settlers of Catan

[Sarge85]

I love Avalon Hill board games - Axis and Allies, History of the World, Diplomancy(? )

I also like Risk, Chess, Sid Mier(sp) Civilization (1-4), Age of Empires ---

So I'm looking for a good board game along those lines, and have read alot about Settlers of Caan, but would like to read more than just a magazines review.

So tell me whats good and bad about this game.
