In the base game, one to four players try to get the highest score. There is also a "plus" version of the game, which, like the original Catan board game, is a race to be the first player to score 10 victory points. [30] In addition to the Catan Card Game above, two additional card game spinoffs have been published.
In the Catan Card Game, each player controls a principality of Catan, consisting of two settlements, a road between them, and six regions near the settlements, all of which are represented by cards. Throughout the game, players seek to expand their principalities, scoring victory points for certain features.
Catan: Cities & Knights (German: Städte und Ritter), formerly The Cities and Knights of Catan, is an expansion to the board game The Settlers of Catan for three to four players (five to six player play is also possible with the Settlers and Cities & Knights five to six player extensions; two-player play is possible with the Traders & Barbarians expansion).
For example, a Large Festival Hall card's only use is its two victory points, which is a tremendous boost to victory. An abbey, however, gives a progress point. Even better, cards like the Mint give you points - in this case a victory point - and a special effect. (The Mint allows you to trade Gold for any one other resource once a turn.)

Such behavior results in Favor Tokens, which can provide resource, developmental, trading, or Victory Point bonuses. [3]
Whenever a 7 is rolled and a settlement is at the base of the pyramid, the Pharaoh also contributes a piece to the pyramid. The player with the most pyramid pieces receives the "Pharaoh's Blessing" bonus, worth three victory points, while the players with the fewest pieces receives the "Pharaoh's Curse", which deducts two victory points. [1]
Catan: Traders & Barbarians is the third expansion to the Settlers of Catan games, developed by Klaus Teuber.It contains a series of new scenarios and small variations, which are meant for two, three, or four players (though, like other expansions, an extension for up to six players is available), with limited compatibility between the other two expansions, Catan: Seafarers and Catan: Cities ...
There are two additional types of Development Cards used in Zarahemla - Temple Building allows two temple stones to be placed for free, while Liahona acts in a manner similar to the Alchemist Progress Card from Cities and Knights of Catan. [2] Zarahemla is played to twelve Victory Points, unlike the ten of Catan. [1]
