This is a super popular board game, a great gateway or casual game that is perfect for playing with beginners, with children, friends or family gatherings.
Colonization of the Island of Catan
In the game, participants will set out to colonize the island of Catan. During the game, they will develop it by extracting resources, laying roads, founding settlements, and then turning them into cities.
The rules are very simple. Players take turns. The player`s turn is divided into three phases:
Obtaining resources
The player rolls the dice and adds up the results on the fallen faces. All hexagons of the field with the same numbers are activated. If there are settlements or cities of the players on the border of these hexagons, they bring resources to their owners. But if the sum on the dice is 7 (which is the most likely sum), the "robber" wakes up. Everyone with more than seven cards loses half of their resources. The player moves the robber to another land hex. Now this territory will not give resources. The player also steals one card from the opponent, if the territory contains cities or settlements belonging to it.
Trade
The active player exchanges cards with opponents. The exchange rate is negotiable. The player can exchange cards with the bank at a rate of 4:1. That is, four cards of one resource are given, and one card of any kind is taken in return. The course can be improved if the player builds a settlement in the harbor.
Construction
All players build objects by spending resource cards. A road (on the side of the hexagon), a settlement (in the corner of the hexagon) or a city (replaces the settlement) can be built. For the longest continuous path from the roads (minimum 5 roads), the player receives the transition card "Longest Route" (2 victory points).
By spending resource cards, you can get a development card - a knight, victory points or a breakthrough. The breakthrough card is discarded after its effect is applied. After playing a knight card, the player moves a robber. For the largest army (minimum three knight cards), the player receives the transition card "Largest Army" (2 victory points).
The game ends when one of the participants scores 10 or more victory points. Settlement - 1 point, city - 2, other points - on cards. This player becomes the winner.
Exciting economic race
This is a gambling economic strategy in which players try to minimize the element of chance. Simple rules and exciting gameplay. Play with family or friends, with children or adults, with beginners or experienced players who want to take a break from hardcore strategies. The game has a high level of interaction between players. Replayability is also fine, because each time a new playing field is formed from hexes.
