Catan Scenarios: Big Game Big Honor

Description

--- <TLDR> Exclusive Catan Big Game mini-expansion: pay wool/grain to place settlers on production table, earn laurel tokens on rolls, exchange for benefits, bonus VP for leading with three settlers. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Settler deployment* Players pay 1 wool or 1 grain to send settlers to the Big Game table's slots for each of the ten production numbers. - *Bonus victory point* First player to place three settlers gains a transferable VP, similar to Greatest Army or Longest Road, lost if surpassed. - *Displacement rule* When table is full, production dice determine new settler placement, displacing existing ones. - *Laurel token acquisition* Rolling a production number matching a player's settler awards a laurel token. - *Laurel exchanges* Tokens redeemable for: 1 (robber to desert), 2 (steal opponent's card), 3 (bank resource), 4 (build road), 5 (development card). This exclusive mini-expansion for Catan Big Game participants introduces a shared Big Game table with slots corresponding to the ten production numbers. Players spend 1 wool or 1 grain to deploy settlers onto available slots. The pioneer achieving three settlers first secures a bonus victory point, akin to Greatest Army or Longest Road, which must be relinquished if overtaken. Upon filling the table, incoming settlers trigger a production dice roll to dictate placement, potentially displacing incumbents. Each time a production number aligned with a player's settler is rolled, they collect a laurel token. These tokens enable potent actions: one returns the robber to the desert; two permit stealing a resource or development card from an opponent's hand; three allow selecting any resource from the bank; four facilitate free road construction; five grants a development card draw. ---
