It's called Settlers of Catan and there's a ton of information about it at this link including description, photos, links and several pages of downloadable files, some of which are rules and variants: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/13

You can use this link to find the best price among the various online boardgame stores: http://michaelareed.com/boardgamesearch/

Be sure to look into their shipping policies because a cheap price can sometimes be offset by high shipping costs.

Settlers of Catan.
Game of the Year in 1995
Created by Klaus Teuber.
Absolutely fabulous game. Two add-ons 'Seafarers' and 'Cities and Knights' are pretty good too, almost necessary once you get playing.
Here's a general synopsis:
The players in the game represent the eponymous Settlers, establishing a colony on the previously uninhabited Island of Catan. The island itself is laid out randomly at the beginning of each game from hexagonal tiles ("hexes") representing five types of resources: ore, grain, wool, lumber and brick.

As players establish towns and cities on the island, each settlement can receive resources for its adjacent hexes (with cities yielding more resources). The resources, represented by cards, can be used to build more roads, towns, or cities, and to obtain development cards for later use. Various achievements, such as building a town or establishing the longest road, grant a player one or more victory points. The winner is the first player to accumulate ten victory points.

Players are allowed to trade among each other the resources they have produced, and to trade "off the island" for a hefty price. It is difficult for any one player to produce all the resources necessary for progress, so astute trading is the strategic heart of the game. Player interaction is further complicated by the presence of a robber, which is used to steal from other players and hinder their production of resources. There is no combat. Apart from moving the robber, refusing to trade, and cutting off building routes, there is no way to harm other players.

Settlers of Catan has rapidly become popular in part because its mechanics are relatively simple, while its dynamics are quite complex. At a recreational level, the game is well-suited for family play. No one gets eliminated, and players who are behind can strive towards quantized goals that are within reach, such as building a city in a certain space. Home games generally take an hour to complete.

The layout of the board and restrictions on building allow for a player to be boxed in through poor play or bad luck. Also, given the random component of board layout, it's possible for players to gain a monopoly on certain resource, and demand steep trade rates from other players.

Hon, have you tried just doing a search in Yahoo or Google? The search would give you choices of websites to find what you're looking for.
