I just added Settlers of Catan to my Amazon cart.

You won't be disappointed. It's a great game. But for those who have never played, it's best to play it with people who have played it before. It's actually a relatively simple game but the number of rules to the play can be overwhelming if you are just teaching yourself. As an aside, I've also heard that Zuckerberg is a brobdingnagian SoC fiend and used to hold game nights at the Facebook HQ.

Thanks, that is appreciated advice.  I just found this somewhat intimidating sentence on Wikipedia regarding game play.

There is also a robber token, initially on the desert; if a player rolls 7, the robber must be moved to another hex, which will no longer produce resources until the robber is moved again; the player may also steal a resource card from another player. In addition, when a 7 is rolled, all players with more than 7 resource cards must discard half. However, the player gets to choose which half of their resource cards they must discard. Also, if a player has an odd number of cards over seven, such as 9, the player will round down when determining how many they will discard.
