Catan Family Edition Board Game

Begin a quest to settle the island of Catan! Guide your brave settlers to victory by using clever trading and shrewd development. Use resources – grain, wool, ore, lumber, and brick – to build roads, settlements, cities and key cultural milestones. Get resources by rolling the dice or by trading with other players.

• 1. The island of Catan lies before you. The isle consists of
  19 terrain hexes surrounded by ocean. Your goal is to settle the
  island and expand your territory so it becomes the largest and
  most glorious in Catan.
• 2. There are 5 productive terrain types and 1 desert on Catan.
  Each terrain type produces a different type of resource (card).
  The desert produces nothing. (See the 6 terrain hexes in the
  “Resource Production” illustration at the lower right.)
• 3. You begin the game with 2 settlements and 2 roads. Each
  settlement is worth 1 victory point. You therefore start the game
  with 2 victory points! The first player to have 10 victory points
  during his/her turn wins the game.
• 4. To gain more victory points, you must build new roads and
  settlements or upgrade settlements to cities. Each city is worth 2
  victory points. In order to build or upgrade, you need to acquire
  resources.
