I wouldn't describe this as Catan style at all. Almost every mechanic is different. 'Euro-style' would be a better term.

That's fair and I agree. I wasn't sure how well all the game industry jargon is in the tech industry. Catan is probably the most popular Euro-style game.

Many reviewers have said that players who love Catan will love Relic Expedition, so I thought it seemed like a good description.

Your right I am sure some of us on HN know what is meant by a coffin box game or what a coop game is or describing a particular faction in a minatures game as "stabity" or "runny shooty".

But the majority probably do not.
