On each turn dice are rolled to determine what resources the island produces. Players build by spending resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) that are depicted by these resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSetup includes randomly placing large hexagonal tiles (each showing a resource or the desert) in a honeycomb shape and surrounding them with water tiles, some of which contain ports of exchange. Number disks, which will correspond to die rolls (two 6-sided dice are used), are placed on each resource tile. Each player is given two settlements (think: houses) and roads (sticks) which are, in turn, placed on intersections and borders of the resource tiles. Players collect a hand of resource cards based on which hex tiles their last-placed house is adjacent to. A robber pawn is placed on the desert tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA turn consists of possibly playing a development card, rolling the dice, everyone (perhaps) collecting resource cards based on the roll and position of houses (or upgraded cities—think: hotels) unless a 7 is rolled, turning in resource cards (if possible and desired) for improvements, trading cards at a port, and trading resource cards with other players. If a 7 is rolled, the active player moves the robber to a new hex tile and steals resource cards from other players who have built structures adjacent to that tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePoints are accumulated by building settlements and cities, having the longest road and the largest army (from some of the development cards), and gathering certain development cards that simply award victory points. When a player has gathered 10 points (some of which may be held in secret), he announces his total and claims the win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCATAN\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas won multiple awards and is one of the most popular games in recent history due to its amazing ability to appeal to experienced gamers as well as those new to the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWARDS \u0026amp; HONORS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2012 JoTa Best Game Released in Brazil Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2012 JoTa Best Game Released in Brazil Critic Award\u003cbr\u003e2011 Ludo Award Best Board Game Editor's Choice Winner\u003cbr\u003e2011 Jocul Anului în România Best Game in Romanian Winner\u003cbr\u003e2011 Jocul Anului în România Best Game in Romanian Finalist\u003cbr\u003e2005 Gra Roku Game of the Year Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Hra roku Winner\u003cbr\u003e2004 Hra roku Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2002 Japan Boardgame Prize Best Japanese Game Nominee\u003cbr\u003e2001 Origins Awards Hall of Fame Inductee\u003cbr\u003e1996 Origins Awards Best Fantasy or Science Fiction Board Game Winner\u003cbr\u003e1995 Spiel des Jahres Winner\u003cbr\u003e1995 Meeples' Choice Award\u003cbr\u003e1995 Essener Feder Best Written Rules Winner\u003cbr\u003e1995 Deutscher Spiele Preis Best Family\/Adult Game Winner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PunkOuter Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42572767592471,"sku":"sku-40837956960388","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/8099\/9959\/files\/catan-trade-build-settle-23409_00f4d.jpg?v=1752760579","url":"https:\/\/animeimports.net\/products\/catan-board-game","provider":"Anime Imports LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
