Struggle for Catan

Struggle for Catan compresses the familiar economy of Catan into a fast card game for two to four players. A central market and draw pile supply brick, lumber, grain, wool, and ore; roads determine how many trades a player may make before building. Settlements become cities, cities accept powerful expansions, and every construction contributes victory points or a lasting ability. Roads and knights are deliberately scarce, so once their stacks empty a new build takes a matching card from another player in the direction shown by the destiny card. That direct swing keeps the contest interactive without dice or a map. Each turn follows a clean trade, build, and draw sequence, and the first player to show ten victory points wins. The small 110-card box makes this one of the most portable ways to settle Catan.
