Okay, it's official. Catan Online has been launched by (the most powerful) company in the world, Microsoft!
I've been following the development of the game for some time, and I know many of us have played the computer version. Microsoft signed a deal with Klaus Teuber, having the exclusive rights to the only official version of computer Catan.
Now that the online version has launched, there should be more to come, perhaps in the form of cell phone games, probably an Xbox version for it's Xbox Live! service (yay!), and maybe even the expansions.
This has to be considered a major step in the popularizing of German-style games.

Days of Wonder has some excellent online games, that are free if you own copies of the game. Ticket To Ride, for example (game of the year last year).

Played about 12 games online, have won 4 so far. As these are 3 player games, I have not won more than my share...
Play has been "o.k." in terms of the level of competition.
Wish there was a "3-pt. thief" rule option, and a 4-player option.
