In Catan stake is a basic game, which can be complemented by various extensions.
The game can be played with 3 to 4 players over the age of 10 years and should lt. Take the Manufacturer Kosmos in about 75 minutes. This varies according to our estimation, but considerably because it depends on the number of players, their tactics and skill in the game. The aim is namely to reach 10 points, and that can go fast when the own tactics rises quickly or take longer if the tactic is knowingly or unknowingly sabotaged by the other players.
The game is played on an island and with the help of raw materials, which in turn can obstruct to roads, settlements and cities. Who builds his settlement or streets sent, comes to more raw materials and can be enlarged so. Settle-action-Building is the motto of Catanians.
The first game we have based on the Cartan board game wizard, an app, performed, which also caused among many Aha moments of fun and humor in the first game. In 95 small steps illustrated sketches with sound and character he showed us loose, light and of course the world of Catan. There were no open issues more, and if they do then an extensive FAQ collection in the app would certainly have taken care of Remedy. We have run with 5.0 Lollipop Android system app on a Samsung S5, which was no problem.
You can also play the game with no app, but the manufacturer has an extensive and highly illustrated also small steps explained Instructions and an extra Almanac added with another rule explanations and examples stake. So both technology nerds and deniers come with this game at their expense.
Also an information sheet to Play it smart variant is settled, the, again declared the expiration of this additional variant by another second app. It's a bit like an extension in the form of an app. But it runs contrary to the wizard not on any phone without problems, you have to try out so first. Did they but found a compatible mobile phone, then the app offers to get started after a short time interesting alternatives. But you should be careful because it is always gegiert here on the part of the app for in-app purchases.
The almanac is included with the game also contains an overview of the entire Catan family that is not always so easy to overlook and not arbitrary can be combined with each other.
So is the book which games are supplemented by extensions which and how many players are involved.
This game here is suitable from 3 persons and for max. 4 People. Want to play more, you have to buy corresponding supplements. A game night is a large group, so do not do so without further ado, just not a games evening for two. For a completely different Catan variant must be selected again. This is a point which I find very sad despite all the joy of the game.
We enjoyed the game with its possibilities in any case very much and even our teenagers had keen interest to operate as a master builder and to defeat his parents. We are now going to look for an extension in order to bring even more variety and innovation in our construction activities.
To use for these classics with its ability Apps if you want, we give 5 points and the recommendation also times in the world of Catan immerse.
