Description
--- Catan Dice Cards replace physical dice in Settlers of Catan with a balanced deck simulating dice rolls, enhanced by events and reshuffling. Key mechanics include: - *Dice simulation*: 36 cards replicate all 2d6 combinations for even probability distribution; includes 1d6 support for Cities & Knights Expansion. - *Reshuffle mechanism*: New Year card atop bottom 5 cards triggers immediate deck shuffle, excluding those 5 for added randomness. - *Event integration*: 16 cards neutral; six "7" cards trigger Robber Attack; six events appear once, four twice. - *Series compatibility*: Part of Catan Series; expands base CATAN; Event Cards sourced from Traders & Barbarians. This card set substitutes dice in The Settlers of Catan, providing 36 dice cards that precisely mirror the 36 possible 2d6 outcomes, ensuring probabilities match standard dice rolls, and extends to single-die rolls for Cities and Knights Expansion compatibility. Randomness is amplified via a New Year card placed over the bottom five cards, prompting an instant reshuffle upon reveal and sidelining those five cards. Events diversify gameplay: sixteen cards bear none, the six "7" cards invoke the classic Robber Attack, with remaining events distributed as six unique singles and four doubles. As a Catan Series component, it expands the base CATAN game, incorporating Event Cards from Catan Traders & Barbarians. ---
