Description
Submerge yourself into the bustling life on Catan - be the prince or princess of Catan and decide on the fate of its settlers. 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.
In Rivals for CATAN you are building your principality with cards. Each player starts with a small principality consisting of two settlement cards connected by a road card.
Each settlement is diagonally adjacent to a region card. 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.
Each settlement is worth 1 victory point, and if you upgrade a settlement to a city, you receive another victory point. The easy-to-play Introductory Game The First Catanians takes about 30 minutes and is exclusively played with the cards of the Basic Set. The first player to have 7 (or more) victory points wins the game.
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. It is also important that you place heroes, buildings, and trade ships above and below the settlements and cities because these cards are important in the competition for the trade advantage and the strength advantage, both of which give you additional victory points and pave your road to victory.
