🧰 Everything you need is in the tabs — how to play, how to win, what you need, and Bested's tools for it.

Collect resources, build roads and settlements, trade (and rob) your way to 10 points.

  1. 1Set up: each player places 2 settlements and 2 roads (snake order); the second settlement collects its first resources.
  2. 2Each turn: roll 2 dice — every settlement touching a hex with that number gets 1 resource (a city gets 2).
  3. 3Trade with other players, or with the bank at 4:1 (ports give 3:1 or 2:1).
  4. 4Build: road (brick + wood), settlement (brick + wood + wool + grain), city (3 ore + 2 grain), development card (ore + wool + grain).
  5. 5Roll a 7: anyone with 8+ cards discards half, and you move the robber and steal a card.
  6. 6Settlement = 1 point, city = 2, Longest Road = 2, Largest Army = 2, some development cards = 1. First to 10 on their turn wins.
