2 PLAYER MARKET VARIANT

SET UP
Each player places 3 settlements with roads in the initial placement phase using the following turn order:

1>2>2>1>2>1

Each player receives starting resource cards for their last 2 settlements.

RESOURCE PRODUCTION
Each player rolls TWICE on their turn for resources. You cannot roll they same number twice on your turn. If
your second roll is the same as your first, you must roll again.

TRADES
Trading with the bank and harbors happen as normal, but players may not trade with each other, instead
they can use the market deck.

MARKET DECK
To create the market deck, shuffle 4 cards of each resource type together. Then draw 3 resource cards
and place them face up next to the deck. Roll a resource dice* for each card and place it above the card
(if you roll the same resource as the card, roll again).

*You can get resource dice from “CATAN Dice Game” or use any D6 with the following key:
1 = Ore 2 = Lumber 3 = Brick 4 = Wool 5 = Grain 6=Gold (or Wild)

The dice determines the resource you can use to trade for each card. If you roll a “gold”, it acts as a wild
(meaning you can choose which resource you trade). The ratio of the trade is as shown:

RESOURCE DICE

2:1 2:1 1:1

Deck
TRADE TRADE TRADE

At the begining of a players turn, if any cards were taken on the previous players turn, they are replaced
from the deck and the dice is rolled again for each new card entering the market.

THE ROBBER
The robber cannot emerge until each player has had 2 turns. If a “7” is rolled during this time, roll again.

WINNING THE GAME

A player wins the game when they have 15 victory points on their turn.
