If you like Settlers of Catan, you should try Kingdom builder. It is based on the same premise but the scoring changes game from game so it adds a strategic element to it. It's a great game that is very easy to learn and a lot of fun.

You'll be fine starting off with Intrigue, if you like it and have played through all the cards a good bit pick up the base game or the prosperity and seaside expansions.
There are two player variants out there for Catan but with no trading it's not as fun.
I think Agricola is actually a mich better game than Catan with more strategy and less luck. And you can play two player.
If you get Catan I think the Seafarers expansion is a must.
