In 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 (cards)—wood, grain, brick, sheep, or stone—to build up their civilizations to get to 10 victory points and win the game. This game has 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. ============================== Inside the Box: 19 Terrain Hexes (Tiles) 6 Sea Frame Pieces 9 Harbor Pieces 18 Circular Number Tokens (Chits) 95 Resource Cards (19 of Each Resource: Ore, Grain, Lumber, Wool, Brick) 25 Development Cards (14 Knight/Soldier Cards, 6 Progress Cards, 5 Victory Point Cards) 4 "Building Costs" Cards 2 Special Cards: "Longest Road" & "Largest Army" 16 Cities (4 of Each Color Shaped like Churches) 20 Settlements (5 of Each Color Shaped like Houses) 60 Roads (15 of Each Color Shaped like Bars) 2 Dice (1 Yellow, 1 Red) 1 Robber 1 Settlers of Catan Games Rules & Almanac Booklet ============================== Game Genre: Economic Ages: 10+ Players: 3-4 Game Length: 60-120 minutes
