Control of roads and knights can change hands during the game, so don't assume that what's yours will stay yours. City improvements are expensive, but they bring you additional VPs and other bonuses, so strive to spiff up your cities! The first player to have ten VPs wins the game.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe game is dice-less and resource gain and exchanging is based on each player's developments making this version less luck dependent than the original. A twist in the game is that certain developments are limited and can be stolen from other players once there are no new ones left. The first player to gain 10 victory points, wins the game.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(Note that Kosmos lists this game with a 30-minute playing time, while Mayfair Games sets the playing time at 45-60 minutes.)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMixing two copies of game, can be played with 5 and 6 players.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tabletop Cards \u0026 Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54008868733228,"sku":"CN3142","price":13.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/9962\/1164\/files\/pic8808925.png?v=1788386680","url":"https:\/\/tabletcg.com\/products\/struggle-for-catan","provider":"Tabletop Cards \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
