Your adventurous settlers seek to tame the remote but rich isle of Catan. Start by revealing Catan's many harbors and regions: pastures, fields, mountains, hills, forests, and desert. Acquire your resources through trades, cards or lucky dice (even outside your turn). Use resource combinations of grain, wool, ore, brick, and lumber to build roads, settlements, and cities. Buy handy development cards. But beware! Someone might cut off your road or play a monopoly card. And you never know when the wily robber might steal some of your precious gains! Guide your settlers to victory by clever trading and cunning development. The random mix creates a different board virtually every game. No two games are the same! Build roads and new settlements, or upgrade existing settlements to cities. If you expand cleverly, you may be the first player to reach 10 victory points and win the game!
Ages 10+, 3-4 Players.
