Description
A card game? Isn't there one already? Indeed, Rivals for CATAN is acard-based strategy game for two players. However, while Rivals for CATAN ismore like a board game, Struggle for CATAN is more like a card game. Featuringonly 110 cards inside a small box, the game can also be played onthe go.
The game consists of 110 cards. There are 5 different resource cards:brick, lumber, grain, wool, and ore (A) as well as building cards for roads,settlements (back: city), and city expansions (B). You need the resource cardsto build; for example, building a road costs 1 lumber and 1 brick, andbuilding a knight costs 1 ore, 1 wool, and 1 grain. After paying theresources, you may place the corresponding building card in front of you.
On some cards, victory points are depicted. The first player to build cards(i.e., place cards in front of him) with a total value of 10 victory pointswins the game.
Turn sequence: On your turn, first you may trade one or more resource cardsin your hand – either with the market, in which case you exchange them forone or more of the market's 5 face-up resource cards ©, or with an opponentor the draw stack. Building many roads improves your trade possibilities. Afteryou have traded, you may build. To build a city, just turn over one of thesettlements you already have built. You can upgrade a city by means of a cityexpansion. City expansions offer permanent advantages during the game and areoften the key to victory.
If you build a knight or a road and the respective supply is depleted, youmay take a knight or a road from an opponent. The direction of the arrow on thedestiny card determines who that opponent is. At the end of the turn, you mayadd two resource cards to your hand. If you placed knights in front of you, youmay draw more than 2 cards.
