Some random questions
-
Secret Society - Can I first place a Pawnbroker on my Secret Society, then redeem it, and afterwards choose a different Building as a target?
No. The Secret Society sticks with its target Building until either the target Building or the Secret Society itself is removed.
Note: Foreign Cards and the Pawnbroker are part of the Catan Card Game – Expansion Set.
-
Playing and Displaying Cards - Can I perform each of the actions “Expansions,” “Play Action Cards,” and “Trade” several times during the main phase of the game, or just one time?
You may perform all actions as often as you like and as long as you are able to pay for them if necessary, provided that the rules for the expansions used do not contradict it.
-
Settlements and Cities - How can I reserve an empty intersection as a building site for myself, so that no other player is allowed to build there?
It’s not possible. Catan is not a cruise ship, where you reserve a deck chair by placing your towel on it.
-
Common Land - Can I make use of the Common Land right after building it?
Yes.
-
Lars the Naval Hero - If I have a Cannon Foundry, may I wait until a potential 2nd die roll before I use Lars?
Yes.
-
Merchant Outpost - Where does my Merchant Outpost go if my opponent plays the Arsonist to burn it down?
To your hand of cards.
-
When using Vincent, do I have to discard a Knight card I already have played or a Knight card from my hand?
You must discard a knight card you have already played. As a result, you may lose the Largest Army.
-
Ships - How far may I move an “open” ship?
You may move a ship to any place where you would be allowed to build a new ship.
-
Extraordinary sites - Is it allowed to remove extraordinary sites?
Yes.
-
Build over a Building - If I pay 3 identical Influence Cards and use a building that covers 6 squares to build over another building of the same size, may I build over smaller buildings in the process?
Yes. Collateral damage is possible.
