Some people have been playing Catan a lot and they're getting tired of the same old game. They've come up with their own rules that change the game in a big way, but they all keep the same fun and excitement that the original game offers.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬:

◘ 25 gift cards (unrepeated!) (draw one when you hit doubles)

◘ 25 development cards (to replace the original development cards)

◘ 3 new victory points (to be added to the original victory points)

◘ 1 title card (just adds fun to the game, has no points value)


◘ Santa Size: 3.6cmx3.4cm (base size 2cm)

Santa is handmade of resin.


𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆?!


„Firstly Check the beautiful design of each card💚.”

Please separate the cards, place the 25 gift cards alone next to the board, replace the 25 development cards with our new development cards. Add the 3 new victory points and the title card to the original victory cards.


⊛When to draw a gift card?!

◉ Whenever a player hit double! (for example, 4:4 / 2:2 / 3:3/ 6:6 …)


⊛ When Does the card effect takes place?!

◉ The cards must be played immediately after drawing & before any resources are distributed


⊛ Some cards have a red dot on the upper left corner, what does it mean?!

◉ These cards can be held and played later in game, but must be discarded when used.


⊛⊛Two ways to enjoy our gift cards, you may replace the Robber with our Santa, or have them both on the board.⊛⊛


In both versions:

◉ We replaced victory points by candy points (1 victory point = 1 candy point)


◉ Santa’s effect:

o Double production of all adjacent settlements (not cities)

o The player who moves Santa takes one resource from the bank (identical to the hex resource)

o Santa’s effect doesn’t work on the desert :/


To be noted: add +1 point to the target Victory point total. For a basic game, that means that a player wins when they reach 11 victory points (not 10).

(when the card 2 extra points is played, the game needs a total of +3 points to end. For basic game this means that a player wins when they reach 13 victory points)


𝟏. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 – 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐫: (our preferred version)

In this version there is no robber! Only Santa takes place on the board.


Rules:

◉ If you roll a “7,” no one receives any resources.

◉ Instead, every player who has more than 7 resource cards must select half (rounded down) of their resource cards and return them to the bank.

◉ Then you must move Santa! Immediately to another hex.

◉ Then Santa’s effect takes place! :

o Take one resource (identical to the hex resource Santa stands on) from the bank.

o Settlements next to the Santa’s hex produce double, until another 7 is rolled or a reindeer-card (knight) is used.

o In this version there is no stealing from opponent!!

◉ Any player may send Santa back to the desert by paying 2 Wheat to the bank. (please note, Santa’s effect doesn’t work on the desert! Don’t take any resource from the bank! And no double production for settlements next to Santa when placed on the desert)

◉ In this version you may only move Santa to the desert when paying 2 wheat.


𝟐. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 – 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 & 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐫.

In this version both Santa & the Robber take place on the board.


The original 7 roll rule apply to this version. Santa doesn’t move upon rolling 7.

Instead you move the robber as usual and steal from opponent.

Then when does Santa moves?!??

o Any player may pay 2 wheat to move Santa to any hex!

o Whenever a reindeer/knight is used, you may decide whether to move Santa or the robber.

o Whenever Satna moves, remember to apply his effects! see above:)


◉ In this version when you move Santa back to the desert, all players may collect one resource of their choice.

◉ Santa Effects are the same as for version one.
