  • I’m the Rules Girl and this is Catan, the classic game of trading and building, for 3-4 players.
    In Catan, players build settlements, cities, and roads, and compete against one another to become the dominant force on the island of Catan.
    You win by having 10 or more victory points on your turn, earned by building cities and settlements, having the longest road, having the largest army, and earning victory point cards.

    Played Catan a lot about a decade ago, but haven't played in a very long time as we grew into even more complex table top games. Going to introduce some friends to Euro-style board games needed a refresher on the rules. For someone that was already familiar, this 4 minute video did everything on needed in the concise way I wanted. Thanks!

  • @LARAUJO_0
    @LARAUJO_0 3 роки тому +13

    Some important things to note that weren't mentioned here which I discovered while playing my first game:
    - After your first settlement placements, you can only build new settlements next to roads you've built
    - You can only play one knight at a time, and to get the biggest army card you need to play more knights than the current biggest (like with the longets road card)

    • @LARAUJO_0
      @LARAUJO_0 3 роки тому +2

      Another thing: you apparently can't build roads past other player's settlements

    • @balmipour
      @balmipour 2 роки тому +2

      Your first point is mentionned.
      @2:02 Each of your settlements must also connects to at least one of your roads
      The 2nd one isn't really, indeed. She only precises cards can be played on future turns, yet
      - note the largest army card is fully displayed @2:22, and mentions than whoever plays more knights than you will get the card
      - your precision is incomplete too. I'd at least add that
      (1) only ANY one development card per turn can be played (knight/discovery/monopoly...). Only point cards work differently, and don't need to be played to count.
      (2) you may play a knight card before rolling the dice. This can sometimes be very useful, so in case you missed it, be aware of it !
      And yep, she also didn't precise one can't build through an opponent's settlement, but considering how concise her videos are, I won't blame her :)
      I'd add one more precision, which isn't in the rules... but most of my friends would agree with : DON'T play with 4 players ! The island is too small for that.
      Usually, with 4P, after a few turns and the first extra one or 2 colonies are built, one player is already completely boxed and knows he won't make anything in this game...
      well, everyone plays as they want, but I strongly recommend NOT playing 4P without an extension to make the island bigger.

    Can someone explain this to me?
    Are you allowed to trade more then 1 time in the same turn?
    Can u build more then 1 thing at same turn?
    How many development cards can be built at same time?
    If u roll 7 can u still play ur turn or do it stop you from doing anything?
    I cant tell if this is family rules or not -.-

      1) Yes.

      3) As many as you can afford.
      4) You can still play your turn but you have to do the stuff in the video on top of it.
      Hope that helps : )

    @theMadSpektre 3 роки тому +2

    Thanks for the video; just bought Catan for my visiting family that only ever wants to play Pinochle for some strange reason. Wish me luck.
    Watching this I was only confused about the initial settlement and road placement at the very end of the video. Is it possible the red and blue players' pieces are shown too early (before the initial dice roll) and should have slid into place as phase II of II for every player laying down two settlements and roads directly after game setup? The difference between the phases (as far as I understand it from the official rules - white stars what?) being that resources are assigned for phase I but not II?
    I might have made that more confusing than need be xD Thanks again!

    @The Rules Girl Awesome presentation, as usual.
    Yet, it seems some wrongly starting red&blue colonies were put on the board at 3:03.
    Since Catan is unsurprisingly one of your most popular videos, you may consider adding an annotation about that :)
    (And in the same way, you might also add a few precisions about points likes the ones LARAUJO noticed, and/or create the probably very expected video(s) about Catan's expansions)
