Wien Catan

Riesenrad oder Hermesvilla bauen

Build roads, collect resources, build a settlement, upgrade a settlement to a town - for nearly 20 years we have practiced resources management and negotiation in Catan. Countless versions, supplements and expansions have been published, many of them for real regions.

Wien Catan features Vienna in an unnamed period - one of the sights on the board is Vienna's Airport, but there is a Special Victory Points Card "Strongest Militia".

Landscapes and dice numbers 2-6 are pre-given permanently on a board; landscapes in Vienna yields resources of wood, grapes, clay, stone and grain, and the Knights are called Militia, as previously mentioned. As in the original game, dice determine in each round who gets which resources where. You use the resources to pay for building roads, settlements and landmarks - landmarks replace the towns from the original game and you can only build them on given spots; they are worth one victory point and a special reward like one free road or resources or development cards. Roads can only be built out of settlement and landmark spots if the corresponding building, your settlement or a neutral landmark, is already built. If a 7 is rolled the Robber blocks resources and steals them also from affected players. You win with 10 victory points from settlements, landmarks and development cards.

Wien Catan again offers a challenging and thrilling game with a good mix of familiar and new features, featuring Vienna-related topics also in the Progress cards, e.g. Platz am Hof or Bastei. If you love to settle you should try vineyards, quarries, Castle Schönbrunn, Privileges or the "Iron Book".
