Catan Scenario: Durango

Description

--- "CWC Durango 2016 Special" is a compact Catan expansion featuring a central Durango hex that enables up to three players to claim versatile resource production, exempt from distance rules but without city upgrades. Key mechanics include: - *Central Durango Hex* Replaces a pasture hex in the board's middle, allowing road builds into its center and settlements at road ends for up to three players. - *Flexible Resource Acquisition* When the hex's number is rolled, each settlement owner selects any resource card of their choice. - *Modified Building Rules* Distance rule bypassed for these settlements, which cannot be developed into cities. CWC Durango 2016 Special serves as a minor expansion for Catan, distributed to participants of the 2016 Catan World Championship. It introduces the Durango hex, positioned centrally by substituting a pasture hex, facilitating construction by up to three players: roads extending to the hex's core and settlements at those termini. Upon rolling the hex's designated number, owners of these settlements receive a resource card of personal selection. Notably, the standard distance rule is waived for these internal settlements, though they remain ineligible for upgrading to cities, thereby integrating a specialized, high-value production node into standard Catan gameplay. ---
