The CATAN Dice Game is great for play on-the-go or during those moments "in between". It is easy to learn and doesn’t take long to play. You can even play it as a single-player game. Read more.
In the dice game version of CATAN, you also build settlements, roads, cities, and knights.
Here, however, building doesn't mean placing wooden or plastic game pieces on a game board. Instead, each player has a sheet depicting a smaller version of the island of Catan. You build by filling in the respective symbols for roads, knights, settlements, and cities.
Building a road, settlement, or city costs the same resources as in the big brother version of the game, but the way you obtain the required resources is completely different.
On your turn, you may roll 6 special dice up to three times. After each dice roll, you may either set aside part of the dice or roll all dice again.
Each side of a die depicts one of CATAN's resources: brick, lumber, wool, grain, ore, or gold.
For example, if you roll 2 lumber, 2 brick, 1 grain, and 1 wool, you may build - i.e., fill in - a road and a settlement.
