Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! The popular board game has finally been submitted to Apple in iPhone form and now awaits approval. For those of you who don’t know – and have been sorely missing out – Settlers of Catan is a resource based board game with several victory conditions. The game has a huge following and even has a couple expansions.

Though there’s no word on pricing, you can almost guarantee I’ll be buying this game. The one big failure? There’s no online system (?!?). That really makes no sense. The game is best enjoyed with friends, so why not give support the iPhone has had for several firmware iterations?

In the ever-increasing deluge of iPhone games, I’m glad to see titles I’ve waited for aren’t slipping past my radar. It’s not so far-fetched to think they might. After all, even major releases can take up to a week to show up in app searches.
