have you played any of the expansions? - Edit 1

We've only played 7 or 8 times, but I think I've won at least 5-6 of them. It's a great game, and I'm amazed at how much fun a non-combative civilization-type board game can be.
"Seafarer's of Catan" and "Cities and Knights" are the two expansions for the game (there are a bunch of variants that are not apparently compatible with the game).
Cities and Knights adds a bit of a taste of warfare as you know have to generate knights to protect Catan's cities from the barbarians that are sailing to the island of Catan.
Personally, I find this game to be seriously ADDICTIVE, and it isn't unheard of for me to kill 3-6 hours online in a given day playing against people worldwide.
