The Struggle for Catan to be Next in Line for Catan Canon

Jan 27, 2011

Coming soon from Mayfair Games is a Catan themed multiplayer card game, The Struggle for Catan. The game should show up on store shelves May 19 and it will allow 2 – 4 players, ages 10+, to build, trade and settle the Island of Catan in 45 – 60 minutes. Klaus Teuber has once again returned to Catan to create a competitive experience that can serve as both a wonderful introduction for new players and a challenging card game for experienced players in the Catan universe.

The Struggle for Catan is a fast-paced game between the 2-4 factions developing newly settled Catan. Manage your resources to build settlements, cities, city improvements, knights, and roads that generate victory points or special abilities. While your settlements, cities, and city expansions remain yours, valuable roads and knights change hands. Varied expensive city improvements give you additional victory points and lasting advantages, so they’re generally key to victory. As in The Settlers of Catan board game, you win by being the first to acquire and play 10 victory points by building roads, settlements and cities as well as Knights and City Improvements.

The Struggle for Catan is the perfect way for 2-4 players to swiftly and casually explore, settle, trade, and build on the beautiful and ever-changing island of Catan.

The Struggle for Catan contains:

• 67 Resource Cards

• 42 Building Cards consisting of:

• 9 Road Cards

• 14 Settlement/City Cards

• 5 Knight Cards.

• 9 City Improvement Cards

• 4 Building Cost Cards

• 1 Destiny Card

• full-color rules
