999games catan basic game - board game

Imagine yourself in the era of voyages of discovery: after a long journey full of hardships, your ships have discovered the coast of an unknown island. The island is called Catan! However, you are not the only explorer. Other intrepid sailors have also landed on the shores of Catan: the race for colonization has begun! The women and men of your expedition establish the first two settlements. Fortunately, the country is fertile and rich in raw materials. You build streets and new villages, which grow into cities. Will you manage to become the most important power in Catan? Barter dominates life on Catan. Some raw materials you have enough, others are scarce. You trade ore for wool, and brick for wood - depending on what you need for your next build. Proceed with caution! Establish your settlements in the right places and trade wisely. Then you have a better chance of winning. Your fellow players have not been overlooked either.

The latest edition of the well-known trading game. The game now includes miniatures and the artwork has also been completely updated. This way you can immerse yourself even more in the world of Catan!

In 1999, this popular trading game was voted Toy of the Year. The game is fun for everyone because of the interaction, the touch of luck and the tactical possibilities.

You start with 2 villages on a variable game board with fields, meadows, hills, mountains and forests. On your turn, you roll 2 dice to determine who gets resources. That depends on the position of your villages. You can then trade with the bank or with your fellow players. You don't get all types of raw materials. And you do need them to build new villages, streets and cities. You can also buy development cards to perform special actions. Furthermore, there is a highwayman walking around who robs some landscapes.

Villages and cities not only provide resources, but are also worth points. Development cards, the longest continuous route and the largest knight force also earn points. The first person to reach 10 points immediately wins the game!
