Catan Der Aufstieg der Inka

Settling in South America

A new, stand-alone game in the Catan universe in the Catan Histories series. You must develop three tribes - one each from the early, middle and late predecessor cultures of the Incan empire - by constructing settlements or maximum one city for each development level of a tribe. When the cultural apex is reached, decline of the tribe follows, and you start a new tribe. The completed development of your third tribe constitutes the Rise of the Incans.

In general, the standard Catan rules apply, with some changes: Resources in this variant are wood, wool, ore, potatoes and stone; there are also goods for trade - feathers, coca and fish. You cannot use those goods for building. Trading and building can be done in any order, cities can only be constructed by upgrading a settlement and you can have only one city per tribe. You cannot build a road between jungle hexes for goods. Combat Art cards work like Knight cards and also offer protection from the Robber; the Robber cannot be placed on a goods production hex. When the development goal of a tribe is achieved, you place thickets on settlements and cities, they yield resources as usual, but can be taken over and built over by other players. Next to roads out of settlement/cities with thicket, no road can be built until the settlement was taken over / built over. Settlement and cities that you build provide development points for placing culture tokens.

If you place the 11^th culture tokens, the 3^rd one for your 3^rd tribe, that is, you win.

A game of Catan as we know it, and yet with considerably more and also considerably different tactics to apply due to the decline rules.
