Those that have built settlements and cities adjacent to these lands receive 1 card representing the resource. Roll dice to see if which lands produce.There are 6 types of land which each produce a unique resource: forest (wood), pasture (sheep), Farm (wheat), River (mud brick), mountain (rock) and desert (nothing).Įach land that produces has a number on it from 2 thru 12 (omitting 7) which tells you when a land will produce. The board is randonmly before each game (this makes each game different.). It may not be that good from my description, but it very fun to play.īasically it is about colonizing an island. It is one of the most entertaining games out there that involves shrewd trading trading, careful planning and strategy in a simple game. Richard Irving (USA) writes about the game: "The Paris-Catan Rally": Here you will find the rules for the Special - Additional Review Die Whiskey-Siedler - funny spin-off in the Scottish Special - The Paris-Catan Rally.Due to the large number of available products, a small Settlers-world was created, making Siedler the best-selling boardgame of the 1990's. Thus, this expansion includes more tiles to make a bigger gameboard and new playing pieces for two additional players.įollowing the great success of the Siedler-boardgame, Klaus Teuber and Kosmos relased a number of expansions and related materials over the years. Since the basic game only was suitable for four players, it was demanded rather quickly that more players could participate. This Expansion for up to 6 players is also available. This version of the game is played exactly the same way, but the artwork was changed to imagery from the American Revolution - a real improvement! Also, both major expansions are available from Mayfair as well. Note: An english / american version of the game is available from Mayfair-games. The game costs at Germany about DM 40,-, which is quite a low price for a good boardgame, and the playing pieces are made from wood and give the game a very nice look indeed.
DIE SIEDLER VON CATAN BOARD GAME PLUS
Land and space is scarce on the continent of Catan and the players will have to trade resources to make any progress.Īnd trading with other players for the really needed iron might cost you at least three units of your precious wool.Īnother big plus of the game is the low price and the fine game design. This fairly simple game really brings lot of fun. The player who first has accumulated 10 Victory Points wins. With these resources they might build Roads, Towns, Cities or they might also buy Development-Cards by which they can gain Knights or Technical Progress or Victory Points.Īpart from using development cards, the players also get vicotry points for each town and city, and for owning the most knights and for having the longest road across the continent. A continent is formed by spreading out hexes containing different (resource-giving) landscapes.Ģ to 4 players place their 2 starting towns on the map and might collect resources from the adjacent hexes. The gaming concept is simple but intriguing. Honestly, I think it´s worth this honor since it´s one of the best and easiest going strategy-games available. When this game was published in 1995, it was direcly made Germany´s Game of the Year 1995. Kulkmann´s Gamebox - Die Siedler von Catan
