How to play

1. Let's develop civilization with new commodity resources

As the title reveals, the importance of the city is much greater than before. If you get wheat, wool, or iron from a city, it's now 2 copies of the same resource. Take 1 resource and 1 commodity. As goods, you can develop three areas: politics, science, and commerce. The higher the level of urban development. Each roll of the dice increases the chance of getting a progress card. When a city's development level is very high, it becomes a central city in its sector and gains capital status. Capitals provide 1 bonus point and are not destroyed when attacked by barbarians.

2. Progress card instead of development card

New advancement cards replace existing advancement cards. Progress cards are completely different in content and acquisition method. Progress cards are divided into three areas: politics, science and commerce, and are not purchased as resources. You get it based on the result of each roll of the dice. If the city development level of the sector shown on the picture die is less than or equal to the eye of the red die, you get a progress card for that sector. Therefore, the higher the level of development, the higher the chance of obtaining a card. The effect of the card is now specialized for each field, so if you focus on developing the field you want, you can get a card that fits your strategy.

3. Let's train the strongest knights

Knights are now represented by actual game pieces that are placed on the board, rather than cards. It is also subdivided into 3 levels according to the strength of the knight. Knights placed on the game board can be activated with wheat and resources. An active knight moves along the road or. You can kick out nearby thieves to another location. Knights can cut other players' roads or prevent them from building villages. If your knight is stronger, you can kick out other players' knights! Although knights exert a powerful force in the competition between players like this. It is also a means to defeat barbarians when they attack.

4. Prepare for the upcoming barbarian threat

Whenever a barbarian icon appears on the drawing die, a barbarian raid is near, and an raid will occur when a barbarian fleet lands on Catan Castle. At this time, the strength of all players' active knights and barbarians is compared. If the knight's strength is greater than or equal to the barbarian's strength, the barbarian is repulsed. The player with the highest Contributing Knight Strength earns a score card as Guardian of Catan. If the Barbarian's strength is higher, Catan Castle is sacked. One player's city with the lowest contributing knight strength is destroyed and returned to town.
