Simply using the resources you harvested to build roads and settlements or to upgrade settlements to cities won't be enough to come out as winner. The first player to have 7 (or more) victory points wins the game. The easy-to-play Introductory Game The First Catanians takes about 30 minutes and is exclusively played with the cards of the Basic Set. Each of you has 6 regions where - should the dice roll result be favorable - you can harvest resources such as lumber, brick, and ore, just as in the CATAN board game.Įach settlement is worth 1 victory point, and if you upgrade a settlement to a city, you receive another victory point. In addition to settlements, roads, and cities, you also construct the buildings where your subjects work, hire heroes that make things more difficult for your opponent, and build ships to boost your trade.Įach settlement is diagonally adjacent to a region card. Submerge yourself into the bustling life on Catan - be the prince or princess of Catan and decide on the fate of its settlers.
