Settlers of Catan (a.k.a. Die Siedler von Catan, sometimes marketed as Catan) is a multi-award-winning board game by Klaus Teuber, first released in 1995. The competing players are settlers attempting to colonize the island of Catan and must collect and trade resources to build roads, settlements and developments. As they do so they accumulate Victory Points, with additional points being awarded for achievements such as building the longest road or having the largest army. The first player to reach a certain number of Victory Points (usually ten) wins the game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Because of its very unusual non-zero-sum game mechanic, many economics professors use this game to teach concepts of comparative advantage and other economicsIn addition to the original game, there are also the following expansion packs: Seafarers Legend of the Sea Robbers: an expansion created for use with this expansion Cities and Knights Legend of the Conquerers: an expansion created for use with this expansion Traders and Barbarians Explorers and PiratesThere are also different scenarios that change up how you play the game and are less sophisticated: Crop Trust (in partnership with the group of the same name) Frenemies of Catan Helpers of Catan Oil Springs Treasures, Dragons and Adventures (a scenario pack that utilises the Seafarers and Cities and Knights expansions)Since its original release, several related games in the Catan universe have been released, including Starfarers of Catan, Catan: The Settlers of the Stone Age, Catan Histories: Settlers of America, a couple of Themed Stock Board Games (Star Trek Catan based on Star Trek: The Original Series, A Game of Thrones Catan: Brotherhood of the Watch based on A Song of Ice and Fire) and The Moral Substitute, Settlers of Canaan (not that its creators, who licensed the game legitimately, think the original is immoral; they just wanted to play on a map based on The Bible).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Big Huge Games collaborated with Klaus Teuber to develop the Xbox Live Arcade version, Catan. Asmodee Digital is also currently developing a version for both the Nintendo Switch and VR headsets.

Anti-Hoarding: You can hold as many resource cards as you want in your hand, but if anyone at the table rolls a 7 (which is the single most likely roll on a 2d6) when you have more than 7 cards, you have to discard a full half of them. This encourages the players to spend their resources on buildings quickly or to trade them for others they need. The Cities & Knights expansion allows building ramparts around up to three cities, each adding 2 cards to the maximum. Given the greater number of different resources in this game, building at least one is indispensable.
