Kosmos 694 715 - The Rivals for Catan (Toys)

Customer Review

The heading deuted it on: I had long the card game for two players and was actually looking for the extensions. Since this but either not available or for ridiculously high prices, I came to the princes of Catan.

I use times ahead that many who are interested in the game, had experience with the card game for two. The gameplay is really never boring: get cubes, raw materials, follow events, build and improve your (new buildings, units, roads, settlements, cities). The random factor (dice and mixed deck of cards) contribute to the no two games are the same.

In general the exact same gameplay as in the card game for two players. Also, the game is now built some modular: The base stack consisting only of green and yellow cards, which the card game for two was not indeed the case. This can theoretically play any card from the pile. In the previous red cards could only be played once they had built a city. These are now only in the expansion of stacking the extensions.

The game can be designed in almost any way at length rulebook: If you feel like a short game Runge, so you play with no extension to 7 victory points. By extending it plays to 12 points with three to 13. But as I with my girlfriend often had the feeling that the game go too fast, we played every now and then with all three extensions to 15; the capacity (ie victory points supplying building) are definitely still there.

Some mechanisms and rules of the game have been reworked. The results of the event cube effect in principle, almost the same thing and were only slightly Renamed (Jousting is now solid, fruitful year now heist Rich Harvest). Positive noticed to me that some rules have been modified or introduced, either theoretically or clearly long overdue were actually: Some buildings you may for example have increased only once in his principality. These include firstly the extension-specific basic building as university ode dive, as these are a prerequisite for many of the expansion cards and a total of only to find two times and on the other, some of the buildings from the Basic set (eg monastery.)

The artwork of the cards is very nice managed. Not only the front, the backs of the cards are beautifully illustrated. In the previous all tell by cheaper computer animation of what has naturally lowered the game tremendously. Here the illustrations are but apparently painted by hand.

Overall, I have a very good impression of the game. Who does not know, especially the card game for two, access should definitely be here. For veterans of the card game for two here are some new features but wait a couple of old friends. I have long struggled with me, whether I would give this game 4 or 5 star. Lens I would give the game 5 stars smooth. Since it is in principle but "only" a new edition of the card game for two, I prefer subjective nor an asterisk as directed even if you actually do not much could have improved. Those who wish may be to think half a star.

I play The Rivals for Catan mitlererweile on a fairly regular basis with my girlfriend. Soon we will probably to buy one of the extensions, because the addiction factor is yet available. The price is definitely right for what you get.
