Catan Dice Game Is a fast paced stand-alone dice game inspired by the original and best-selling game Catan.
Every player has his own score card called the building sheet, which depicts a mini Catan Build by drawing the settlements and roads on your score card.
To build you still require resources. These are collected by a Yahtzee-like mechanism that involves throwing six special dice (depicting the different resource symbols) up to three times. After each roll, the player can select which dice to keep and which to roll again. In the end, he may build using the thusly determined resources, and is awarded victory points for any finished buildings, which are recorded on the score card.
The game lasts fifteen turns or about 15-30 minutes, after which the player with the most victory points wins. This version of Catan has been designed for 1-4 players, meaning there is a solitaire version of the game, as well!
Catan has won multiple awards and is one of the most popular games in recent history due to its amazing ability to appeal to experienced gamers as well as those new to the hobby. This quick playing card game version plays in under 30 minutes and is a simplified and fast-paced way to enjoy the game without a board.
