Introduction: You never give up! Despite the long journey to your new homeland and the loss of everything you owned, you have made it: you are a settler of Catan! You begin with nothing more than your own two hands, and each day will bring you a host of new experiences and adventures. Hunting bears and wolves? Building trunks and furniture? Working hides and skins? Not a problem for you! But soon you grow tired with simply roaming the island. Your goal is to settle down with a roof over your head, sheep to breed, and a field to sow your grain. To do this, you will need the help of the other settlers in the village. Easily done! If you supply a sword to Jared, he will give you a bag of seeds in return. Osmund needs a new chest, and offers you some sheep. Candamir would like new windows and can help you build your new house. Again and again you head out for the wilderness, hunting bears and wolves, collecting honey and rare herbs. But you must be cautious! |
Features: The Needs of the Settlers: The village side of the board shows the houses of the settlers Jared, Osmund, Candamir, and Brigitta. Each of these settlers has a “wish list” of goods (swords, chests, and window coverings) and animals (cattle and goats) that he or she needs. In order to succeed in the village, you will need to supply these goods and animals to the settlers. Who knows where you will find cattle and goats? They are hidden on the small hexagon tiles placed on the board. You will also find raw materials there: ore, lumber, and hides. You must use these raw materials to create desired goods. For example, you would need 1 ore, 1 lumber, and 1 hide to make a chest. Your biggest challenge is to explore the countryside of Catan and find the most valuable exploration tiles—with cattle, goats, and resources. While you wander over Catan, you will encounter adventures and random events. The stronger, faster, more charismatic, and skillful your character becomes, the easier you will be able to overcome the dangers you encounter and win valuable resources. If you discover a goat or cattle, or you build a desired good, then you can mark your success by placing one of your victory point cubes on a matching space in one of the settlers' wish lists, always filling spaces in the highest empty space in a column. The first player to place all 10 of his victory point cubes on the game board is the winner!
