Die Siedler von Catan: Das Kartenspiel – Sonderkarte 2007 – Arnd, der findige Knappe

Description

"Arnd, the resourceful Squire" is a special promotional card for Siedler von Catan, protecting against specific events when paired with a Knight. Key mechanics include: - *Unit formation* Place a Knight over Arnd to create a protective unit immune to 'Imelda', 'Bürgerkrieg', and 'Bestechung' effects. - *Discard trigger* Removing the Knight sends Arnd to the discard pile. "Arnd, der findige Knappe" ("Arnd, the resourceful Squire") is a rare promotional card for the Siedler von Catan game, personally distributed by designer Klaus Teuber at special fairs as thanks to Arnd Beenen, senior producer of Catan GmbH. Functionally, it requires placing a Knight card atop it to form a single protective unit, shielding both from the disruptive effects of the event cards 'Imelda', 'Bürgerkrieg' (Civil War), and 'Bestechung' (Bribery). This pairing ensures resilience against those specific threats, but the protection is conditional: if the Knight is ever removed, Arnd is immediately discarded, emphasizing strategic placement and maintenance.
