I've played original Settlers with my 6- and 8-year-old kids. We play with resource cards showing, in part because my 6-year-old has trouble fanning cards in his hand. They didn't have any problems with the actual game play, although their attention tends to wander during other players' turns if the game goes too long.

I actually had better success with my 6-year-old by playing 2-player with each of us controlling two different colors and alternating turns. There was less down time for him so it kept his interest better.
