This means your potential for gaining resources will be lower, the variety of resources you can obtain will likely be lower, and you'll start with fewer resources (if the harbour was your second placement). The downside of placing on a harbour is that you touch at least one fewer resources than you could by placing elsewhere. The upside of placing on a harbour is obtaining the harbour. Q: Settlements and Cities - May I build a settlement at a harbor during the set-up phase?Ī: Yes. Water hexes are hexes, so the points at which two land tiles and two water tile and the points at which of one land tile and two water tiles meet are intersections.ĭuring the initial placement, you are allowed to place a settlement on any open intersection (as constrained by the proximity restrictions), so you are allowed to place on coastal intersections, so placing on a harbour is a legitimate placement for a settlement during setup. In order to control a harbor, you must build a settlement on a coastal intersection which borders the harbor. The mean variation score is 0.0365 with a standard deviation of 0.0095. Place the numbered circle makers in either the beginner setup given or in alphabetical. Arrange the land hex tiles in the beginner formation given in the rulebook, or shuffle them facedown and place them. Intersections are the points where 3 hexes meet. The figure below shows the distribution of variation scores from a set of 80,000 different Catan board setups. Here are the basic steps: Assemble the frame by clipping together the blue edges of the board. When a player has gathered 10 points (some of which may be held in secret), he announces his total and claims the win.ĬATAN has won multiple awards and is one of the most popular games in recent history due to its amazing ability to appeal to experienced gamers as well as those new to the hobby.The starting player places a settlement on an open intersection of his
Points are accumulated by building settlements and cities, having the longest road and the largest army (from some of the development cards), and gathering certain development cards that simply award victory points. If a 7 is rolled, the active player moves the robber to a new hex tile and steals resource cards from other players who have built structures adjacent to that tile. A robber pawn is placed on the desert tile.Ī turn consists of possibly playing a development card, rolling the dice, everyone (perhaps) collecting resource cards based on the roll and position of houses (or upgraded cities?think: hotels) unless a 7 is rolled, turning in resource cards (if possible and desired) for improvements, trading cards at a port, and trading resource cards with other players. Players collect a hand of resource cards based on which hex tiles their last-placed house is adjacent to.
Each player is given two settlements (think: houses) and roads (sticks) which are, in turn, placed on intersections and borders of the resource tiles. Number disks, which will correspond to die rolls (two 6-sided dice are used), are placed on each resource tile. Setup includes randomly placing large hexagonal tiles (each showing a resource or the desert) in a honeycomb shape and surrounding them with water tiles, some of which contain ports of exchange. Players build by spending resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) that are depicted by these resource cards each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep. They typically haunt the hallways of workplaces and the tables of coffee shops, nervously pawing pocketfuls of hexagonal terrain cards while trying to talk their friends and co-workers into a quick game or two. All the other rules are the same of the usual game except you may require more victory points to win the game. Each 3 gold points worth one victory point.
Every single construction on the side of this river is a gold point.
The collection includes info on setting up official scenarios that didnt make it into the current handbook. They have about 50 Catan maps or scenarios (mostly for Seafarers), and they add to it regularly. On each turn dice are rolled to determine what resources the island produces. Settlers of Catan addicts are an increasingly common sight. Description: This expansion to Settlers of Catan consists of a tile with 3 hex and a river. There are no official 'sequels' but there is some stuff you can find online. Place your remaining settlements, roads, and cities down in front of you. In CATAN (formerly The Settlers of Catan), players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities, and roads. Place your 2 roads and your 2 settlements on the game board.
