Rivals of Catan

Rivals - Setup

Shuffle the region stack and the Basic Set

Remove the Yule card from the event cards and shuffle the remaining event cards face down

Place 3 event cards face down. Place the Yule card face down on top of these 3 cards, then place the remaining event cards on top of the stack

Place the 4 stacks containing roads, settlements, regions, and cities face down between the players

Divide the Basic Set cards into 4 stacks of 9 cards each and place them next to the city card stack

Pick your starting cards (the cards with the blue or red shields) and place your
principality aligned towards you

Event Die

The Turn

Part 1: Roll the Dice

The active player rolls both the event die and the production die

Each region with a number matching the production die's roll produces 1 resource

Increase a region's resources by rotating the card CCW once, displaying the number of resources stored at the bottom closest the player

Resolve the event die result¹

Part 2: Take Your Action Phase

Play cards from your hand

Play center cards (roads, settlements, cities, and regions)

Trade 3 resources of the same type for 1 resource of a different type²

Part 3: Replenish Your Hand

Draw up to or discard down to 3 cards

Hand-size may increase 1 card per Progress Point

Part 4: Exchange a Card from Your Hand

You may exchange 1 card by placing it under a draw stack and then:

Draw a random card OR

Pay 2 resources to search 1 draw stack for a card of your choice. Do not shuffle stack

Cards you exchange cannot be used immediately

¹Brigand Attack will resolve before players receive resources
²Players may only trade with the bank or by using a trade ship (rate of 2:1 for specific resources), and not with other players unless indicated by an event card, action or event die roll

Play Cards from Your Hand

Actions cards may be played during your turn for no cost

Add an expansion from your hand to a empty building site above or below a settlement/ city and pay building costs

2 types of expansion cards: Building and Units

2 types of units: Heroes and Ships

Cards marked (1x): You may only have 1 of this type of card in your principality

Advantage

Strength Point	Blue Axe	3 or more points gives a player the Strength Advantage and 1 VP
Commerce Point	Yellow Scales	3 or more points gives a player the Trade Advantage and 1 VP
Skill Point	Green Harp	Player with the majority receives 1 resource of their choice when the Celebration event is rolled
Progress Point	Purple Book	Increase hand size by 1 per progress point

If a player has the strength/trade advantage and their strength/commerce point fall below 3 or below your opponent's, they remove the token from their principality

Expanding - Play the Center Cards

Building a settlement automatically gains a player 2 regions (drawn from the top of the region deck)

New regions are positioned diagonally on each corner of the new settlement

The space above & space below a settlement are reserved for Buildings & Units

Spaces directly left or right are for building additional roads

Cities are placed over existing settlements
