For me one of the best 2-person games

The two players each begin with a small, medieval principality, which consists of two settlements and six different landscapes. During the game, they get about their landscapes raw materials with which they build more settlements, explore new lands and build cities. Villages can be developed with buildings, heroes and fleets that bring additional benefits and / or victory points.

Procedure:
Players are alternately on train. A train consists of several actions:
I) First roll the dice: The dice both players receive commodity revenues for each of their landscape map that corresponds to the number erwürfelten eyes. The number of available resources is increased by one. The symbol dice determined the event:
- Robbery: Who has too many commodities, loses all gold and wool.
- Trade: The player with the most trading symbols on its extensions must be selected by the enemy any one resource.
- Rich Harvest: Each player receives one resource of his choice.
- Fixed: The player with the most skill points his ausliegenden hero receives a commodity.
- Event: Performing an Event card

II) In the action phase, the active player
- Commodities 3: Replace 1: 1 or about his expanding trading ships 2
- As many roads, settlements and / or cities for their raw materials to build. Furthermore, where the players are new settlements, there immediately created new land tiles as new sources of raw materials.
Create expansion cards, such as buildings, heroes, merchant ships to settlements and towns -
- Play action cards

III) Finally, the active player must refill his action card hand to its limit and replace an action card to the draw pile.

The game ends when a player has the required Siepunktzahl achieved through settlements, cities and conversions.

Conclusion:
The game is the revised edition of the "Settlers of Catan Card Game" for 2 people. Both players have many strategic options: If you build new settlements in order to create additional sources of raw materials can or quickly built to the cities to take advantage of good urban expansion cards? Especially the numerous expansion cards offer a lot of options. Particularly if they can be combined well with his other cards. Eg if you have many sheep pastures, the wool merchant vessel profitable. Ultimately, you have to adapt its strategy again and again to the erwüfelten commodities. And many a time one waits eagerly to a certain number in order to get the missing clay for the last settlement. Although this is a certain element of luck but also voltage into play.
All cards are beautifully designed and full of atmosphere.
The expansion cards are for basic & Theme Sets (gold, chaos, progress) divided, which can be combined with each other. So you can easily enter with the basic game without any expansion cards need to know.
The mechanism and feel have already convinced me the "old" Settlers card game: For me it's one of the best 2-person games.

The main changes to the "old" settlers card game:
- Graphical revision
- The knights were replaced by heroes
- Officially, players can not exchange each other commodities
- New & Enhanced expansion cards
- Simplified entry through the separation in base & Theme Sets
