Gameplay : Settlers of Catan is a resource management and trading board game. It uses a modular game board which consists of hexes depicting the various land types. These hexes are shuffled at the beginning of each game and spread out in an hexagonal pattern to represent the gameboard.

At the beginning of each game, players decide on which lands they will build their settlements on with each land type (forest, pasture, mountains and fields) providing a different resource.

Land hexes produce on a roll of a pair of dice, with each land hex provided a number ranging from 2 to 12. The dice rolls determine which resources are produced and players who have settlements and cities alongside these lands gain the appropriate resources.

Players compete to build roads, settlements and cities using the resources produced by the land to gain Victory Points. In addition, players can purchase from the development deck which provides a variety of additional events that will benefit the players.

While the rules and gameplay of the Settlers of Catan can be learned within 10 minutes, the modular board, the random dice rolls and the negotiation and trading between players gives the game a new flavor every time. It's no wonder that Settlers of Catan continues to sell well over a decade and half since it's introduction.
