Hmm I do agree Puerto Rico is a great game, but it's completely different than Catan. The luck factor is MUCH lower (only the tiles are randomized) and it is far less "fast paced" than Catan. I'll grant the theme is similar in that you're gathering resources and building things (though not with the resources in Puerto Rico). I'd really consider them on the opposite ends of a the generic board game spectrum though.
