Gameplay in Brief:
Catan Dice Game is a quick-playing, lightweight game set in the popular Settlers of Catan universe. Players use six dice to roll for resources (brick, lumber, wool, grain, ore or gold) which are then used to build roads, settlements, cities and knights. There are multiple strategies to pursue, and although players who take big risks can dominate, they can also fail spectacularly.
