Catan Dice Game "Extra"

Description

--- "Catan Dice Game" variant from "Catan News 2008" uses a shared map for all players, starts with streets, and features castle-building to aid lagging players. Key mechanics include: - *Shared map* All players compete on one common map, unlike individual setups in the original. - *Starting street* Players begin the game with a pre-built street. - *Castle building* Construct castles along streets to help behind players catch up. - *Rule variations* Modified rules from the original Catan Dice Game to accommodate shared play and catch-up elements. - *Distinction from Deluxe* Not the repackaged "Catan Dice Game Deluxe Edition," which bundles original, "Plus," and extras like a dice cup. This variant of the original Catan Dice Game, published in "Catan News 2008" for the Essen game fair 2008, introduces a shared map for all players, diverging from presumed individual maps in the base game. Key rule changes include starting each player with a street and enabling castle construction along paths, which specifically assists players falling behind to maintain competitiveness and balance gameplay. It must not be confused with the "Catan Dice Game Deluxe Edition," a mere repackaging of the original "Catan Dice Game" and "Catan Dice Game Plus" with minor additions such as a dice cup. ---
