Kolonists from GetIfun is a knockoff of Settlers of Catan for the IPhone. There are no dice rolls – I think you choose which resources you collect each turn on your turn. The game is slightly themed with an ancient Roman theme of some sort.
I imagine that they are hoping to avoid any problems with the Catan IP owners, but the island and card graphics all look pretty similar to the classic board game, IMHO.
Apparently, the game has a few stability issues to work out.

Probably taking a cue from an earlier game, Hanto, which was a blatant rip off of Hive. The app was pulled at one point and then re-released with a number of changes to differentiate the two.
