Catan VR

Playing Settlers of Catan in virtual reality is a lot like playing the board game in real life. You and three other friends sit around a virtual table and compete to build the best civilization. Playing online is a nice perk, though, and cross-platform support for Oculus Go, Rift and Gear VR makes it easier to get a game going.
