Saggsen-Gadan: De säggs'schn Siedler / Catan-OFFENSIVE in Chemnitz

Description

--- "Saggsen Gadan" is a limited-edition Settlers of Catan expansion celebrating anniversaries with two Saxony-themed scenarios using fixed maps and basic game pieces. Key mechanics include: - *Fixed map setups* Two pre-made maps on Saxony and Chemnitz, replacing variable board generation. - *Resource trading and building* Standard mechanisms to colonize, develop manufacturers, and score victory points. - *Regional influence and bridges* Navigate rivers via bridges to exert control in Saggsen's seven regions for victory. - *Postcard collection* In Chemnitz scenario, gather historical postcards via city population for points (2-3 players). - *Themed robber* Karl Marx acts as Joker/Robber in the quick Chemnitz variant. Saggsen Gadan, de Säggs'schen Siedler (or the Settlers of Sax'ny) is a commemorative, limited-edition expansion (1000 copies) for the Catan base game, released by Kosmos to mark the 10th anniversaries of the Deutsche Spielemuseum in Chemnitz and Settlers of Catan, following a world-record 816-player game on a massive board. It provides two ready-made scenario maps printed on double-sided sheets, akin to historical theme expansions, playable with basic Catan components plus included cut-out special pieces. The primary scenario, Saggsen-Gadan, challenges players to colonize Saxony via standard building and trading, progressively founding manufacturers whose products convert to victory points amid river-divided terrain crossable only at bridges, requiring influence across seven regions to reach 10 points first and claim Kingship. The secondary, quicker Catan-Offensive in Chemnitz for 2-3 players, focuses on populating the city with resources to acquire postcards depicting historical buildings, museums, and facilities exchangeable for victory points, with Karl Marx substituting as the Joker/Robber. ---
