Session And Setup

• Supports 2 to 6 players. Choosing 5 or 6 players enables the extension board.
• Each match uses a 3-digit session code so friends can join from their own browser.
• After the lobby, everyone rolls for turn order. Ties automatically reroll until the order is resolved.
• Setup has 2 rounds of placement. The second round runs in reverse order and the second settlement gives starting resources from adjacent non-desert tiles.

Turn Rules

• During normal play, the active player rolls first and then uses the action buttons to build, trade, use development cards, and end the turn.
• Rolling a 7 forces every player with more than 7 resource cards to discard half. After that, the current player moves the robber and may steal 1 random resource card.
• The first player to reach 10 victory points on their own turn wins the game.
• Only 1 development card can be played per turn, and a card bought this turn cannot be played until a later turn.

Trade And Board Rules

• Bank trades start at 4:1 and can improve to 3:1 or 2:1 if you build on ports.
• Player trades are broadcast to all opponents, and the first accepting player completes the trade.
• The host can customize the board before the game starts with rules like desert-in-center, no matching terrain adjacency, no matching number adjacency, 6 and 8 separation, high-value cluster control, and keeping 2 and 12 away from the outer edge.
