Die Siedler von Catan: Das Kartenspiel – Sonderkarte 2009 – Franz vohm Winkel

Description

--- "Franz vom Winkel" is a special promotional card for the Siedler von Catan card game, honoring the German illustrator by enhancing a Church for extra victory points. Key mechanics include: - *Placement requirement* Pay the card's costs and overlay it directly on a Church card. - *Victory point value* The paired Church and Franz vom Winkel together count as 2 victory points. - *Removal dependency* If the underlying Church is removed from play, Franz vom Winkel is also discarded. - *Exclusive distribution* Issued at special fairs, personally by game creator Klaus Teuber as tribute to the illustrator. "Franz vom Winkel" serves as a unique promotional card exclusively for the Siedler von Catan card game, distributed at special fairs directly by designer Klaus Teuber as a heartfelt acknowledgment to Franz vom Winkel, the illustrator of the entire German series. To utilize it, players must pay its specified costs and position it atop an existing Church card, with the duo jointly functioning as 2 victory points. This enhancement introduces strategic depth, as the card's viability hinges on the Church's persistence in play—if the Church faces removal for any reason, Franz vom Winkel must accompany it out of the game, enforcing careful placement and risk assessment within Catan's victory point race. ---
