Settlers of Catan is a game where each player has just landed on a new island called Catan and each is looking to expand to become the largest “nation” of Catan. This is achieved by collecting resources by dice rolls and trading with other players to get the resources needed to build a settlement, a city, a road, or a development card (which can be useful in the later game). Settlers of Catan involves skill in both expansion and negotiation. Each player starts by placing two settlements on the map and when a number is rolled on a resource that is adjacent to one of their settlements that player collects the appropriate resource. The point of the game is to achieve 10 Victory Points by expanding your “nation” (Settlement = 1VP, City = 2VP, Longest Road = 2VP, and Largest Army = 2VP). The first player to do so wins!
