Even if you’re not big into board games, chances are you’ve heard about Catan (formerly The Settlers of Catan). Here’s a rundown of what the game’s about. For a longer look at the rules of the game, watch my How to Play Catan video.
Hi! It’s Ryan from Nights Around a Table, and this is Catan, a dice-rolling, empire-building game for 2-4 players. Here’s the deal.
You and your friends play settlers of the newly-discovered fictional island of Catan. You’ll use the resources from this bountiful new land to build settlements, roads, and cities, as well as different cultural institutions, and potentially a small army to protect your property from bandits. Along the way, you’ll trade resources with each other, and try to muscle one another out of the most lucrative spots on the island, even telling the bandits who they should rob! The structures, roads, institutions, and armies you build all earn you points, and the first player to reach 10 points on their turn wins the game.
Well, does it sound interesting?
