Struggle For CATAN | 999 Games | Card Game | Nl

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of "Struggle For CATAN," a dynamic card game set in the beloved Catan universe! Designed by the acclaimed Klaus Teuber, this game presents a fresh and engaging multiplayer experience, inspired by the ever-popular The Settlers of Catan board game.

In "Struggle For CATAN," players take on the roles of settlers, aiming to build thriving settlements, roads, cities, and recruit mighty knights. Each strategic move earns valuable victory points (VPs) and unlocks special abilities, propelling you closer to triumph. However, remember that the tides of fate can change swiftly - control of roads and knights is subject to shifting alliances and cunning maneuvers. What you gain may not remain firmly in your grasp, and your rivals are ever-vigilant for an opportunity to snatch your hard-earned progress.

Expanding your cities is a key aspect of the game, opening up diverse paths to success. City improvements bring you additional VPs and coveted bonuses, enticing you to strategize and optimize your gameplay. Keep a watchful eye on your opponents, for competition for resources and opportunities is fierce.

Uniquely, "Struggle For CATAN" forgoes dice-based mechanics, favoring resource gain and exchanges based on your individual developments. This clever twist reduces luck's influence, granting you greater control over your destiny. Additionally, certain developments are limited, leading to intense battles for these sought-after opportunities. When no new developments remain, the race for victory points escalates to new heights!

The road to triumph is not without challenges, but wise players can find protection through shrewd moves. Building churches or city walls can safeguard your progress and fortify your position. Employ strategic foresight, masterful resource management, and swift tactical adjustments to outmaneuver your opponents and secure your place in Catan's history.

"Struggle For CATAN" is designed for 3 to 4 players, offering an exhilarating and sociable gaming experience. However, with the mix of two game copies, the game accommodates 5 or 6 players, making it perfect for larger gatherings and vibrant game nights.

The rules are remarkably accessible, allowing new players to quickly grasp the mechanics and embark on a thrilling adventure. With an average playtime of around half an hour, the game strikes a balance between depth and accessibility, making it suitable for seasoned gamers and newcomers alike.

Moreover, "Struggle For CATAN" scales beautifully for 2 players, ensuring enjoyable head-to-head duels. In this version, players engage in trades rather than traditional commerce, creating a dynamic and intimate experience that remains true to the spirit of the original game.

Prepare to be captivated by the enchanting world of Catan as you build, strategize, and negotiate your way to victory. Will you be the first to amass ten victory points, conquering the cherished lands of Catan? Gather your fellow settlers, rally your wits, and brace yourself for an exciting journey of resource management, cunning alliances, and fierce competition. "Struggle For CATAN" awaits your command!
