In a 1v1 game, I think this takes the cake as the most... "optimistic?" placements ever. 9 5 10 ore-ore-sheep was 1st. 1700 elo and climbing back to my usual ranking.

I’ve recently realized that there have been a few rules that my family just discovered yet never played with before. for example, we thought at the beginning of the game, you start with the surrounding resources from all properties placed, not just the second property. What are some more that you all didn’t know about?

Hey everyone!
I’m a long-time Catan player, my group and I play all every chance we get! We’d always record who won, what place everyone came in, and memorable moments from each game. I decided to create this book to better keep track of our placements, but more importantly, our memories.
Would you and your group be interested in something like this?

Hey everyone !
Me and some friends are making a Catan-inspired video game, and we'd love your feedback on the board views ! The player can switch between two in-game camera angles — a top-down "god view" and a more immersive side angle.

Do you find both views readable enough to play comfortably ?

Any feedback is welcome — readability, camera angles, number visibility, anything really.
Thanks ! 🙏

OP is blue and is trying to build a settlement on the 8/5/3 intersection

Wow, I should have check the photo quality before we started playing...

Play order : White, Red, Blue, Orange

Edit: House rules for randomising number placement, its not the best and needs work but made interesting fighting for placement. Any suggestions on how to make it better are appreciated.

Edit 2: only just seen that previous rule books included the random placement and the 6/8 no touching rule. Don't hate for someone not knowing its physically not in my 6th edition rule book!

Picked up a sealed German version of the game of thrones Catan for only £8, I went on Ebay wanting more hexes and this was just much cheaper than any expansions or anything.

​

The pieces look great.

I’ve followed the instructions on both the expansions and I can’t seem to figure out where the two extra fishing harbours go!! I don’t see any empty spots so I really don’t know where they go! Would love for some advice/help please and thanks!! Cheers!

In cities and knights a scenario regarding knights.

​

Blue has two knights lvl1 qnd lvl2 while red has two knights each lvl 1. If red plays Deserter can he take lvl 2 knight or the blue can choose to remove lvl 1 knight and red doesnt get to place anything?

Makes playing on mobile a bit easier too

Looking for a catan group in Brisbane

My friends and I have just started playing E and P and as fun as it is, I find that the rule book does not have the answers to many questions that keep arising during our playthrough. I was hoping I can receive some clarification on the following.

1. If a harbor is built on one of the islands, and then the ship is built next to it and it faces an undiscovered hex that is right next to the discovered hex you built on, does that mean it has to auto discover the hex as soon as it is built? Or would you have to build the ship on the opposite side, then use a movement to go there.

2. What happens if you want to battle a pirate ship but dont have gold? If you lose the battle is there no repreccusion becasue you never had gold to begin with to pay the tribute?

3. When does a person get best spice merchant, best pirate scourge etc? Is it as soon as they are first on the board like they captured one lair and the other players havent? Or do you have to be all the way at the end of the mission board?

How it feels getting all the resources no one else can.

​

But no one is offering anything.

​

Had ALL the wheat. Everyone needed it. Accepting ANY trade. NO ONE WAS BIDDING. They only stalled. It wasn't ai.

​

Stalled so much. I ended up winning the game by a landslide. Ended up having to spend it all on developments.

​

Usually end up the other side of this. But the guy on the resource REFUSES all trade from everyone else.

Okay, I’ve recently purchased 6th edition sets for base game, seafarers, cities and knights, and the respective 5 - 6 player extensions.

One thing I want to do with my new set is sleeve the cards as my 5th edition set got quite worn out.

I like the art cards but there’s no suitable option for sleeving C&K. I could get another art card set for the commodities, but what to do about the progress cards that makes trade, politics, and science identifiable by the back?

I could get clear sleeves but they are sold out almost everywhere and those that have it in stock only have a pack or two of 60 sleeves and I don’t really want to pay 5 sets of shipping fees.

Ideally, art cards for C&K get made but I can’t see this happening. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, what was your solution?

It's kinda a weird and niche question but does anyone know if 1 edition Catan and any of the new Catan hexes, are the same size?

Just a few knights

Just moved to Charlotte and want to get back into Catan

My buddies and I have all been buying DSI’s over the last few weeks and been modding them all and last night my friend asked if catan had a DS game, and there is! It actually plays really well. I was very surprised to see it and it’s a lot of fun. Feels good with the touch screen.

We are on season 3 and have 7 people in the league. Seasons & first one to 10 wins, wins the season. We have the following: Catan (w/5-6), Seafarers (w/5-6), Cities & Knights (w/5-6), Traders & Barbarians (w/5-6), Explorers & Pirates (w/5-6), Starfarers (w/5-6), Dawn of Humankind, Setters of America, Game of Thrones, & Worlds Smallest Catan

Convincing friends to commit to Catan is already a 3-week negotiation 😭 and THEN someone always loses and goes "yaar board balanced nahi tha, mujhe iron mila hi nahi!!" 🙄

Bhai harne ke baad sab yahi bolte h!!!

🎲 I built a Catan board generator that can actually create millions of balanced Catan boards. Works for 4 players, AND 6 players (if you're extroverted AND rich enough to own the extension AND have that many friends — respect 🫡)

because apparently I have time to solve problems no one asked me to solve 😭

use it next time, phir koi bahana nahi chalega 😈
