I know it's a personal decision but please help me decide which game to buy
next out of The Settlers of Catan (with the 5-6 player expansion pack) and
Pirate's Cove. There are five of us who will be playing, my wife and I, our
two daugters, fourteen and twelve and our son nine. We've recently enjoyed
the likes of Bang!, Citadels and Ticket to Ride: Europe. I've read as many
reviews as I can on the two games but I still can't decide. Which would be
better suited to a family like ours?
Thanks in advance.

Re: could anyone recommend a good board game for 3-4 players? ... Well, Settlers of the Stone Age is my personal favourite of the Settlers line of products and IMO provides a different take on the resource management of Settlers, while retaining the core mechanics. ... A number of games have been suggested and one type that removes dice rolls but keeps variability are any of the auction games, or games that include a component of this. ...
