999 Games Catan - Basic Game

Imagine yourself in the age of discovery: after a long, hardship-filled voyage, your ships have discovered the coast of an unknown island. The island is called Catan!

However, you are not the only explorer. Other intrepid sailors have also landed on the coast of Catan: the race for colonization has begun!
The women and men of your expedition establish the first two settlements. Fortunately, the land is fertile and rich in resources. You build roads and new villages, which grow into cities.

Will you succeed in becoming the dominant power on Catan?

Bartering dominates life on Catan. Some resources are plentiful, others are scarce. You trade ore for wool, and brick for wood—depending on what you need for your next construction.
Proceed with caution! Build your settlements in the right places and trade wisely. This will increase your chances of winning. Your fellow players are also smart.
