Catan Dice Game

Description

--- The Catan Dice Game is a quick, dice-based Settlers of Catan variant where players roll for resources to build on personal score sheets, supporting solitaire play in 15-30 minutes. Key mechanics include: - *Resource gathering* Yahtzee-style rolls of six resource dice up to three times per turn, selecting dice to keep or reroll. - *Building construction* Draw settlements, roads, cities, and knights on a personal score card depicting a mini Catan. - *Victory points* Earn points for completed buildings; highest score after fifteen turns wins. - *Solitaire compatibility* Supports 1-4 players, including solo mode. - *Quick gameplay* Fifteen turns lasting 15-30 minutes; recent versions feature double-sided sheets and Catan Dice Game Plus rules. Like other Settlers of Catan games, this dice-based variant focuses on building settlements, roads, cities, and hiring knights, but uses no physical board—instead, each player draws constructions on their own score card (building sheet) representing a mini Catan, akin to the Paper & Pencil edition. Resources are acquired through a Yahtzee-like system: players roll six special dice showing resource symbols up to three times per turn, choosing which to keep and reroll, then use the final results to build and score victory points for finished structures on the sheet. The game runs for exactly fifteen turns (15-30 minutes total), with the highest victory points determining the winner. Designed for 1-4 players, it includes solitaire play; recent editions add double-sided map sheets and instructions for the Catan Dice Game Plus expansion. ---
