Let’s Play Azul & CATAN - Play and socialize

Join our CATAN Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic board game.

Everyone is welcome, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, plenty of laughter, and the chance to make new friends.
This is a relaxed, casual meetup: no hardcore competition, just friendly rivalry.

👉 Please RSVP only if you plan to attend.
👉 Most people on the waiting list would be moved to the “Going” list.

How to Play (Quick Guide): *** Setup: Build the island with hex tiles, place number tokens, roads, settlements, and give each player starting resources. Turn order: On your turn, roll two dice to produce resources, then trade and build. Resource production: Players gain resources (wood, brick, sheep, wheat, ore) from tiles next to their settlements/cities when the tile’s number is rolled. Robber: If a 7 is rolled, players with too many cards discard half; move the robber to block a tile and steal a card. NOTE: Friendly robber rule: We play with the friendly robber rule, which means that the robber cannot be placed on a player with less than 3 points. Trading: Trade resources with other players or with the bank (usually 4:1, better with ports). Building: Spend resources to build roads, settlements, cities, or buy development cards. Victory points: Earn points from settlements, cities, development cards, Longest Road, and Largest Army. *Winning: **The first player to reach 10 victory points on their turn wins. *2-Hours-Max: If no one reaches 10 points by the end of the second hour, the player with the most points wins. This keeps our game capped at two hours. ⏰️

Our Game Set-Up & Attendance Policy:

1. We will have two CATAN sets available for up to six players each, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Since each game takes a considerable amount of time, arriving after a game has already started may make it difficult to place you at a table.
3. In such cases, you may need to place your first two settlements on the remaining available parts of the map—if space allows.
4. Please make sure to update your RSVP in advance. Failure to do so may cause unnecessary delays for everyone at the start.
5. Not showing up without notice will result in being blacklisted for at least one future meetup.
