Only so much. I already have the new version with all the extensions.
The edition has received a slight redesign with resource cards, resource fields and ports
the characters and rules have remained the same. The manual has been reduced to the essentials,
facilitates new starters to start.
Even if you prefer the old timber support per se, the new extension variants, there are only modeled in plastic.
The central figure of the Play it Smart Extension is the robber, this has the bottom three touch pedestal for the app
and a cover for use on the field.
The approximately 75MB great free app can be found either via QR-code on the box or search the AppStore of Apple.
At the very first launch of the app you can about the robber that will unlock additional game variant "Treasures of Catan".
Theoretically. In practice, it has in me never works and how you can see on the basis of Appbewertung, this works quite rare.
This is exacerbated by the fact that a new attempt of activation only works on deleting and reinstalling the app, otherwise remains only the ILC for 2.69 euros.
Regardless of anyone with the basic game, no matter what issue, use the robbers extension.
First you put here the number of players + colors and selects whether to accept fully dicing the app
or whether one even with a made with real cubes 7 would trigger the robbers event by pressing the corresponding icon. When robbers event an animated version comes with voice output of the robbers who, depending on the pretend Score / distribution points and features the player himself, someone spare to fill certain fields and the like.
However, the digital robber come not only at a 7 on new ideas.
There are also events in the construction of a new settlement and the new city, which can be triggered by pressure on separate symbols. The presentation with animated predators and speech are the same as in the 7, but the events own.
The manual triggering of events allows the most diverse game variations. For example, you specify that the player can decide voluntarily to the train, if he wants to trigger an event or that it is obligatory for the leading players.
Choose complete cubes on the app, the statistical accumulation one can of diced let figures show.
Disadvantage of the app in its latest version is that it is not usable with the cities / Knights or Seafarers expansion,
because especially in the construction of settlements and towns some events relate to things that exist only during the base game.
Conclusion. Settlers of Catan gets 5 stars. Play it smart is a free addition to any base game variant.
As long as the activation of additional variant "Treasures of Catan" on the special robber does not work reliably,
does not specifically buy this variant. Since it is priced but not expensive, my vote is not changed.
