We have 10 people and two games of catan. Does this work?

hi guys,
i’m going to a local catan tournament tomorrow. it’s been a while i’ve played, i used to play with my friends earlier. please share your advice particularly mid game strategies.

8 people. Two different versions. I won.

On Rush, things happen so quickly that I can't even keep track of what the other players are doing. It was a happy surprise that I even won!

I made a Reddit account just to post this. My wife handmade Catan from Clay… the sheep have FACES. The trees are GORGEOUS. The wheat is LUCIOUS. She thought I would want to play a game on it. This will never be touched by any other soul.

Well this was interesting! Took a few rounds to get a grasp of (most) of the new rules, but we still found out halfway that we were playing the barbarians wrong (whoops!). Also noticed a few rounds after that blue mistakenly placed two settlements right next to one another, but we let it slide because we didn't notice right away.

All in all, this was a long game - took nearly 3 hours! There are some nice mechanics, like the city walls, that are fun, and the city developments really sped things up towards the end. Everyone enjoyed it, though, so that's what matters, and I think well be able to play through a little quicker next time.

Kept a solid grip on production and expansion throughout the game. Always love seeing a board state like this at the end of a match!

Got deserted out over and over but guess didn't need them anyway.

Which position is the best starting settlement? Image is attached in comments, for some reason you can’t post both an image and a poll.

Is it just me or do others also play a longer game. Like m n my family we play first to 15 just to make it a bit harder and longer to finish

and why?

I made it myself, just used a tiny little bit of AI (basically built the whole thing with AI). Now I'm just going to spam the subreddit daily because my idea is so original and nobody has done it before.

Oh, and if you could test it and give me free feedback, that would be awesome!

(sarcasm)

Thank you for continuing to bring attention to this issue, I went by and removed dozens of posts and banned a couple users who repeatedly posted unwanted slop here after being shown complete disinterest. You are heard and we are doing our best to help solve and rectify the growing number of these posts

Going forward it is a mutable then bannable offense from the sub to post your own promotions website or non Catan related game/website. Until we get the automod sorted to try and help filter these posts please continue to be report them and keep an eye out for breaking sub etiquette

As always please be civil, thank you for looking out for the Catan sub community

It took me 30 seconds and signifies the level of effort someone needs to completely rip off an established IP and infect an internet community in pursuit of a quick dollar.

this subreddit doesnt allow video uploads so you can see it in action here: https://vimeo.com/1235973639?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

I'm gonna delete this in a bit but I'm frustrated that nothings being done about that guy spamming this forum

We're playing boats and land finders :D

White is kinda hard to see : he's on the island by the right side.

Been working on this for a while and finally got to put everything together!

3D printed and hand-painted the whole board, including custom cities and settlements for each player inspired by different civilizations.

Pretty happy with how it turned out! Just wanted to share it with you guys. Let me know what you think!

Suggest ideas for new board skins! Currently at 30 different ones. If you want to use these free skins, lmk.

These are just off the top of my head, I'm sure others can think of something better in the comments!

(I made this post after winning a game on colonist where I used a monopoly to build a settlement on a wheat port and then taking road, ending the game with zero cards. Very satisfying)

Was last pick, felt like going something sneaky. Drew 14 devs and got ELEVEN KNIGHTS. would have been chilling if I got literally anything else. oof.

I am brown ◡̈

Hi, sharing a custom scenario I'm working on for this weekend to test out some new modules I got, which include:

• Volcano tiles: in the middle island, with 4, 5 and 9 pipes that produce gold.
• Shipwreck tiles: on a 2/12 allows a player to pick up a treasure token (from dragons, treasures & adventurers).
• Oil springs: just for oil production (for trade and metropolis), there's no environmental tracker.
• Pirate lairs: function similar to pirates & explorers, the main difference is using the knights from C&K to clean them.
• Gold: I'm using the one that comes in T&B, but it works just like in pirate & explorers: 2 at the start, 1 when you don't produce (save from being blocked by a robber), 2 on a Gold field or volcano.
• Fish from T&B.
• Extra victory cards, each worth 1VP, save for plague which is -3VP.
• Strongest Harbors victory card.
• Trade companies, funny concept from Pincer, want to see how it plays out.
• Custom civs.

Overall, there's lot going on, but many of the things are just either extra resources to play or extra options to get more VPs. Now I'm just trying to guess how many VPs should be required to win, since this seems like a 20 or so scenario based solely on the options available.

Only 4 of 8 skins shown here! If the pieces are too unrecognizable, there is an option for simpler remodels! DM me or comment down below if you'd like the google extension to use these skins yourself!

I'm also more than happy to take ideas! LMK what would look insanely cool!
