Description Edit | History

In Settlers of Catan, players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements, cities, and roads. On each turn dice are rolled to determine what resources the island produces. Players collect these resources to build up their civilizations to get to 10 victory points and win the game. Multi-award-winning and one of the most popular games in recent history due to its amazing ability to appeal to non-gamers and gamers alike.

Die Siedler von Catan was originally published by Kosmos and has gone through multiple editions. It was licensed by Mayfair and has undergone at least 4 editions as Settlers of Catan. It has also been re-published in a travel edition by Kosmos and in yet another edition for Japan/Asia, Settlers of Catan: Rockman Edition.

Settlers of Catan is the original game in the Catan Series.

4 Settlers of Catan cooperative B&W P&P version
Black and white, print and play, cooperative version of Settlers of Catan. Game board and rules (English and portuguese) provided. 3 (three) pages total. This is a working version. I need some feedback about mechanics and rules clarification before preparing a final version.

2 Corrected Building Tiles for 15th Anniversary Edition
If you don't already know, all 6 building tiles that come with the 15th Anniversary edition are misprinted. When I contacted Mayfair, they apologized and offered me a jpeg to stick on top of my tiles. THANKS ALOT!!! Anyway, I made the best of a bad situation and printed the jpeg on some Avery label paper on a color laser printer, cut to fit and stuck them on top of the tiles. Looks pretty good and corrected the three misspellings on the tiles. Back to gaming now!

3 Variant - The Market (a.k.a. The Friendly Robber)
The robber token is now The Market. This basically turns most of the “negative” aspects of the robber into positive aspects.
