Die Siedler von Catan: Das Kartenspiel – Sonderkarte 2003 – Guido, der große Diplomat

Description

--- "Guido, der große Diplomat" is a promo card for Siedler von Catan that enables strategic theft of an opponent's Attack-Action Card when trailing in victory points, with Spy immunity. Key mechanics include: - *Conditional card theft* Steal the top Attack-Action Card from opponent's discard pile if they have more victory points, played at the very beginning of your turn before rolling dice. - *Spy immunity* Guido cannot be targeted or affected by the 'Spy' card. - *Promo exclusivity* Distributed at special fairs, typically by designer Klaus Teuber. - *Reimplementation* Featured in Artisans & Benefactors expansion with updated artwork and simplified activation (no pre-roll requirement). "Guido, der große Diplomat" serves as a rare promotional card for the Siedler von Catan card game, personally distributed by creator Klaus Teuber at special fairs. Its core effect activates only when an opponent holds more victory points: played at the absolute start of your turn prior to dice rolling, it lets you claim the topmost Attack-Action Card from that opponent's discard pile. Additionally, Guido possesses full immunity against the 'Spy' card. This card saw a re-release in the Artisans & Benefactors expansion, featuring a new illustration and an enhanced effect that eliminates the strict pre-roll timing constraint, broadening its usability in gameplay. ---
