Duration of Play:<\/td>\r\n45-90 minutes<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\nIn The Settlers of Catan (also “Settlers” or “Catan”), the first player to 10 victory points wins. It\u2019s a game of strategy, network building, trading, and managing your cards. You build settlements (each worth 1 victory point) and cities (each worth 2 victory points), but there are some rules. You must have at least two roads in between each of your settlements and\/or cities. There must also be at least two spaces between your settlements\/cities and any other players\u2019, so mind your neighboring players who might get in your way!\r\n

From the publisher:<\/h3>\r\n
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.<\/em>\r\n\r\nThen embark on a quest to settle the island. Guide your settlers to victory by clever trading and cunning development. 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 gains!<\/em>\r\n
