12 Sales of Christmas continue with a fantastic 2-player-only game that many folks overlook because they think it is an expansion! For Tuesday, Dec 22, you can pick up Rivals for Catan for 25% Off! But you need the secret phrase!
To take advantage of this special deal, you need to speak the secret phrase to your friendly I’m Board staff member at checkout time. The secret phrase is: “I heard this game is better than regular Catan!”
Each player portrays a prince of Catan, developing their individual provinces and competing to build a more successful province than the other. The basic mode of play is similar to the original Catan Card Game, where players expand their provinces by building settlements connected by roads. Players may also build expansions in their settlements that aid them in various ways, or upgrade their settlements to cities to allow more expansions to be built. They build these additions by using resources that they accumulate each turn, which are determined by the roll of a die. Cards are drawn on each turn to replenish the players’ hands. The players may also use action cards that directly affect either their own province or their opponent’s province.
The Introductory Game focuses on the basics of the card game, featuring gameplay that is more appropriate for newcomers and should take beginner players 25 to 30 minutes to play. Three Theme Games add more rules, expansions, and aggressive cards. These Theme Games may be played individually or combined. When playing a Theme Game, playtime should be around 45 to 60 minutes.
