The Struggle for Catan – Catan in Your Pocket 🃏🏘️

All the trading and building of Catan, packed into a small box of cards. The Struggle for Catan by Klaus Teuber is a quick card game for 2 to 4 players aged 10 and up, in about 30 to 60 minutes.

There is no board and no dice: everything happens with cards. Resource cards for brick, lumber, wool, grain and ore come straight from the draw pile, so you always know what you are working with. Each turn follows a simple rhythm – trade, build, then draw. Trade with the supply or with the other players, then spend your resources on roads, settlements and cities, add city expansions or recruit knights. Every building brings you closer to victory, but watch your rivals: when the supply runs out, roads and knights can change hands, so the lead can switch quickly. The first player to reach 10 victory points wins. It is a great way to enjoy the Catan feeling in less time and with less space – at home, on holiday or as a quick round when there is no room for the full board game. Choose the English, German or Slovenian edition – the Slovenian edition »Catan hitra igra s kartami« comes with rules in Slovenian.
