About 1000 small magnets implemented in a fully funcional magnetic board for 5-6 players. Every number token and robber clicks in place with magnets. Even the harbor pieces and card tray are held in place by magnets in the lid so they dont fall
Out.
Love the end result!
We have catan from 1995 with the seafarers expansion and we don’t know what these tiles mean can you Guys please help.
What do we think about his second placement (8/4)
Black was first, Red second, Orange (me) third, then Blue
Is it good to go for just 2 materials in this situation, i always struggle when it comes to placing my first 2 pieces esp in 4 player games, so i was just thinking is it good in some places.
I have a question about the rules about the trade it says
> Important: You may not give away cards in any way, which includes trading matching resource cards (for example, trying to trade 3 ore for 1 ore is not allowed).
What does give away cards mean? Does that mean trading some amount of cards for a smaller amount of cards? Because typically I would not consider that to give away cards, and the rules don't specify what it means (it does give an example, but that is only for that specific case and is not a specification of what it means in general).
Like, when you trade with the supply or with a port, trading a larger amount of cards for a smaller amount of cards is what you do all the time, and then it's not called "giving cards away."
Edit: I misread the example given in the rules, and thought it was about trading one resource for another resource, but it was about trading one resource for the same resource. Hence my confusion.
I am the creator of hexed.gg a new catan app the hopefully is a better way to play Catan online from free play too no ads and live analysis? thoughts on the new platform?
I was curious about the friendly robber rule, specifically in the context of cities and knights. Since you start with 3 VP, does the rule adjust to the new value, or can you only be protected if you lose your city in the first attack?
Thank you to all who have visited my Catan Collector website over the years. My collection and site have been very important to me and given me much pleasure,
Therefore it is with great regret I will soon be freezing the site and it will then remain as a static site for two more years. No further updates will be done. The reason for this is a totally unexpected medical diagnosis advising I only have weeks left to live.
Finally I would also like to thank everyone here for all your posts and for sharing your enjoyment of Catan. Every day I enjoy checking in and seeing the latest messages and thoughts. Through this group I have made many friends around the world and they have helped add many items to my collection.
hi i am new to catan and i got my first copy! does anyone know what this piece is? only the white gear has it
I had an idea for an attacking mechanic.
Please tell me your thoughts.
Attacker must own a settlement or city directly connected to the target settlement or city via the attacker's own road. Attacker must play one Knight card.
In the round of the attack, the attacker may neither trade nor build.
Defender can completely block the attack by playing two Knight cards.
If undefended, attacker rolls two dice. The attack succeeds if the sum matches a number on a field adjacent to the target settlement or city.
- City: downgraded to settlement (loses 1 victory point)
- Settlement: completely removed from the board; only directly adjacent roads of the same color are also removed
- Freed spaces can be built upon normally starting from the next turn
A player can protect their own settlement from attacks by building roads of their color at all three adjacent nodes, making it geometrically impossible for opponents to establish settlements nearby and thus making an attack impossible.
hi, i'm new to the group and also from chess, can you guys suggest me anything tips that i can win?
White won btw with all 5 victory points and the army.
more or less the title of the thread, when I'm playing, players seem to leave instantly after the game is just won/lost, and the time to leave is not something a human could achieve, so it seems like colonist io website is just setting me against bots that and pretending like they're human players
Hi all! Catan is one of my favourite board games, but I don't get to play nearly as much as I'd like.
I'm 35 and based in Dudley in the West Midlands. Just wondering if there are any other Catan fans around Dudley/Black Country/Birmingham who'd be interested in getting together for some games?
Happy to travel a bit and would be great to get a small group together if there's enough interest. 👍🎲
Anyone local?
