Catan: O Jogo de Cartas

Catan Card Game offers a fresh twist on the beloved classic, The Settlers of Catan. While it may share familiar elements, this card game introduces exciting gameplay dynamics that promise an engaging experience for all players.

Begin your adventure with six distinct resources: wool, wood, bricks, grain, ore, and gold. Each player starts the game with six resource cards, each marked with a unique die number, alongside two village cards and a connecting road card. Throughout the game, players will have the opportunity to purchase additional cards for roads, villages, and cities—all while gaining valuable resources with every expansion.

When players roll the number die, instead of simply collecting cards, they rotate the corresponding resource card to indicate a gain. Picture the brick card: one edge shows one brick, the next shows two, the third displays three, and the fourth indicates zero. Such clever mechanics ensure that every roll influences your strategy!

The game also includes an event die, featuring five potential outcomes:

• A reward for the player with the highest knight points or 'windmill' points.
• A bonus resource to aid your expansion.
• An attack on players hoarding too many resources.
• One of six special events, such as civil war, conflict, master builder, plague, productive year, or progress.

In addition, there are 62 expansion cards divided into six stacks at the center of the table. Before you embark on your strategy, each player selects one stack, sifts through it, and chooses three cards to keep. With forty-two of these expansion cards requiring resource expenditure to activate, players can enhance their gameplay through civic improvements and powerful knights. Each improvement not only serves a strategic function but can also lead to victory points!

Furthermore, twenty of the action cards can either benefit a player or hinder their opponents, adding another layer of intrigue to the game. After playing a card or using an action, players blindly draw a new card, keeping their strategies flexible and dynamic. Don't forget, some cards even come marked with flags, indicating valuable victory points.

The race is on! The first player to accumulate twelve victory points claims glory as the ultimate strategist! Are you ready to dominate the competition and stake your claim in the world of Catan?

Note: The Anniversary edition (Jubiläumsausgabe, tin box edition) is available under a separate listing due to variations in content.
