In the dice game version of CATAN- you also build settlements- roads- cities- and knights.Here- however- building doesnt mean placing wooden or plastic game pieces on a game board. Instead- each player has a sheet depicting a smaller version of the island of CATAN. You build by filling in the respective symbols for roads- knights- settlements- and cities.Building a road- settlement- or city costs the same resources as in the big brother version of the game- but the way you obtain the required resources is completely different.On your turn- you may roll 6 special dice up to three times. After each dice roll- you may either set aside part of the dice or roll all dice again.Each side of a die depicts one of CATANs resources brick- lumber- wool- grain- ore- or gold. For example- if you roll 2 lumber- 2 brick- 1 grain- and 1 wool- you may build – i.e.- fill in – a road and a settlement. – Description from PublisherAGES 7+1-4 PLAYERS
