Die Siedler von Catan: Cheops

Description

--- "The Cheops Pyramid scenario" is a Catan expansion simulating pyramid construction for Pharaoh Cheops, where players balance resource gathering and contributions for bonus points to top and bottom contributors. Key mechanics include: - *Trade route building* Players construct routes to facilitate resource movement and trade. - *Resource collection* Gather standard resources plus gold to enable contributions. - *Pyramid block contributions* Players add blocks to a communal great pyramid. - *Bonus scoring* Cheops awards extra points to players contributing the most and least blocks. - *Expansion requirements* Requires components from base Settlers of Catan and Seafarers. The Cheops Pyramid scenario is a promotional expansion for Die Siedler von Catan (Settlers of Catan), first released as a poster and later included in Die Siedler von Catan: Historische Szenarien in 1998, requiring bits from the base game and Seafarers expansion. It simulates Pharaoh Cheops commissioning royal families (players) to build a great pyramid, where participants build trade routes, collect resources including gold, and contribute pyramid blocks to the shared structure, with Cheops granting extra points to those contributing the most and least. ---
