Die Siedler von Catan: Thüringen Edition

Description

--- **Die Siedler von Catan - Thüringen edition** is a historical fixed-map expansion for Catan, mirroring Thüringen's medieval geography with modified settlement and road rules (24 words). Key mechanics include: - *Fixed map board* Features resource hexes, cities, and harbors reflecting real-world Thüringen geography from the Middle Ages, with Celts, Romans, and Germans intermingling. - *Restricted city building* Cities can only be placed at round intersections denoting actual historical cities. - *Altered spacing rule* No requirement for two roads between settlements, as some cities are only one hexside apart. - *Road extension limit* After building a road to a hex with a settlement, no road can leave it until a new settlement is built on that hex. - *Simplified harbor access* Placing a road on the red-shaded hexside grants harbor benefits. Die Siedler von Catan - Thüringen edition belongs to a series of historical regional map expansions for the Catan series, profiling famous German regions during the Middle Ages when Celts, Romans, and Germans intermingled. Similar to Die Siedler von Nürnberg and other expansions, it uses a fixed map board where geographic features like resource hexes and cities approximate their real-world locations, surrounded by harbors. The rules adhere closely to standard Catan but include key modifications: cities are buildable only at round intersections marking actual cities; the standard spacing rule mandating two roads between settlements is waived due to closely spaced cities (some only one hexside apart); players cannot extend a road from a hex with a settlement until a new settlement is constructed there; and harbors are activated simply by placing a road on the designated red-shaded hexside. ---
