In The Settlers of Catan, you control a group of settlers trying to tame the wilds on the remote but rich island of Catan. Start by revealing the island's many port sites and regions: plains, meadows, mountains, hills, forests, and desert. The random mix creates a different board for virtually every game. Instead of money, you use combinations of resources-grain, wool, ore, brick, and timber-to purchase development cards or build roads, settlements, and cities. Acquire your resources through trades or the luck of the dice. But beware! Someone might cut off your road or buy a monopoly! and you never know when the robber will appear and steal away with your precious grain! One of the most popular non-collectable games ever created. Winner of the U.S. Board Game of the Year of 1996 and German game of the year for 1995. Good for 2-4 players.   Show Less
