Some random questions
-
Colony Outpost - Does Flavo also change places if I only have gold at my Colony Outpost?
Yes.
-
Exploration - What do I do if my path is obstructed when beginning an exploration?
In the village – which isn’t even close to a corner – you always can choose between both open paths. Remember that another adventurer figure is not an obstacle: various adventurer figures may be placed together on the same space.
-
Victory Conditions - Can I win during the special building phase?
No. You can only win during your own turn.
-
The animations are jerky. What can I do about it?
On slower computers the resource or dice animation may become jerky. If this bothers you, we recommend that you switch off the water animation via the option “Water.” In case this doesn't take care of the problem, you can also switch off the resource animation (e.g., during production) in the options menu. The options menu may either be accessed via the main menu or, during a game, via the “Options” button in the upper button bar. If you would like to display message boxes instead of animations, please set the option “Animation” to “OFF.”
-
Pawnbroker - Can I place a Pawnbroker on a Building that belongs to my opponent but is located in my principality?
No. You can’t pawn something you don’t own.
-
Knights - How many knights may I build in total?
Six: 2 basic, 2 strong, and 2 mighty knights.
-
Regions - Why is there an odd number of Region Cards?
So that 1 region is left, which assures that the Scout can still be played when the last settlement is built.
-
Arsonist - My Arsonist targets a Building of my own principality because a “6” is rolled. But I only have Buildings that are protected by a Fire Brigade. Do I have to draw a Building Card into my hand anyway?
No.
Note: The Fire Brigade belongs to the theme set "Science & Progress", which is part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.
-
Cities - Can I switch the positions of the expansions inside a city for optical reasons?
As long as this doesn’t have any effects other than strictly optical ones: yes.
-
Dogma - Can I place a Dogma on a Secret Society that imitates a Library, Church, or University?
No. You may only place it directly on the Buildings listed on the card.
