Scenario: The Friendly Robber Game Rules

Hey there! Let’s dive into the exciting world of The Friendly Robber game. Are you ready? Great! Here are the rules you need to know:

Objective:

The aim of The Friendly Robber is to gather as many points as possible by stealing valuable items from different locations around the game board.

Game Setup:

To begin, place the game board on a flat surface where everyone can reach it. Each player chooses a colored pawn and places it on the starting space. Make sure everyone has an equal amount of play money.

Gameplay:

Once the game begins, players take turns moving their pawns around the board. Roll the dice to determine how many spaces you can move. Pay attention to the special spaces, like the “Steal” space, where you can steal valuable items from other players.

Stealing Items:

When you land on a “Steal” space, you can choose a player to steal from. The player must hand over one of their valuable items to you. Don’t worry, though – it’s all in good fun!

Valuable Items:

Throughout the game, players will collect valuable items. These items have different point values, so the more you collect, the higher your score will be.

Earning Points:

At the end of the game, each player adds up the points from their collected valuable items. The player with the highest score wins!

Additional Rules:

– If two players land on the same space, they can engage in a duel. The winner of the duel gets to steal an item from the other player.

– Some spaces may have special instructions. Make sure to follow them when you land on those spaces.

Remember, The Friendly Robber is all about having a great time with your friends and family. So, get ready to strategize, steal, and enjoy this exciting game!

Have you ever been annoyed when playing a game and the robber gets placed on a tile early on, but then the dice never roll a 7 for a while? It’s frustrating because that means a key resource on that tile gets blocked. The good news is that the robber won’t target any players until they have more than 2 victory points.

The Rules of the Game

Once a 7 is rolled or a player plays a knight card, the robber cannot be moved to a tile with a settlement owned by a player who has only 2 victory points.

If there are no tiles available to move the robber to due to this rule, the robber stays in the desert. If a player has a settlement on the desert and only has 2 victory points, no one can take any resource cards from them.

Regardless of this rule, any player who has more than 7 resource cards when a 7 is rolled must give up half of their resources.

Event Cards

Forget the dice! With these cards, you’ll experience a whole new level of excitement and surprises in the game.

This special deck contains 36 cards, each representing a unique combination that can happen when rolling two dice. These 36 cards cover all the possible outcomes, making the chances of each roll fair and balanced. And that’s not all – this deck also includes a card to simulate the roll of a single die, which is perfect if you’re using the Cities and Knights Expansion.

Setting Up

Before we start, let’s prepare the deck by separating one special card from the rest.

a) Take all 36 number cards and give them a good shuffle. Then, pick out 5 of them and put them aside, face down.

b) Now, take the special card called “New Year” and place it face down on top of the 5 cards you set aside. After that, grab the remaining 31 cards and stack them on top of the deck, also face down.

c) Once you reach the New Year Card during the game, go back to step (a) and repeat the whole process.

So, in the end, you won’t be using those 5 cards that were set aside. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of surprises waiting for you!

Hey there! Let’s talk about handling dice rolls and the Seuche (Epidemic “6” & “8”).

The Basic Roll

So, how do you handle a normal dice roll of 7? It’s actually pretty simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Grab a standard six-sided dice.
2. Give it a good shake in your hand.
3. Toss it onto the playing surface.
4. Watch it tumble and roll.
5. Keep an eye on the result.

Remember, you’re looking for a total of 7! This can be made up of different combinations, like a 3 and a 4, or a 2 and a 5. The possibilities are endless!

The Seuche (Epidemic “6” & “8”)

Now, let’s talk about a special type of dice roll called the Seuche, which happens when you roll a 6 and an 8. This is a unique scenario that you need to be aware of.

When the dice show a 6 and an 8, it’s important to know that something unexpected is about to happen. The Seuche brings with it a wave of uncertainty and challenges that you’ll need to overcome.

So, how do you deal with the Seuche? Well, that’s the tricky part. You see, the Seuche is a double-edged sword. It can either elevate your game to new heights or regenerate a response you weren’t expecting.

When the Seuche strikes, be prepared to adapt and think on your feet. It may throw you off balance, but it’s up to you to turn it into an opportunity. Embrace the challenge and find a way to come out on top!

Remember, in the world of dice rolls, anything can happen. So, embrace the chaos and have fun!

Hey there! Did you know that each player only gets one resource for each city they have? That’s right, it’s a simple rule, but an important one to keep in mind when playing.

Now, let’s talk about Cities and Knights. In this expansion, things work a little differently. You can’t take any commodities this turn. Just a little twist to keep things interesting!

Earthquake (or Erdbeben)

When I play the game, I have to do something special if one of my roads gets damaged. I have to turn it sideways, which means I can’t build any new roads until I fix the damaged one. Fixing it is not too hard, I just need 1 wood and 1 brick. And even though it’s damaged, it still counts towards my longest road.

A Nice Community (Good Neighborhood “6”)

Hey there! Let’s talk about a fun game called Ritterturnier, also known as the Knights Tournament “5”. In this game, each player gets to give a resource (whatever they choose) to the player on their left, but only if they have one to spare.

If you’re playing the expansion called Cities and Knights, you can even give away a commodity during the game. How cool is that?

Now, let’s dive into the exciting world of Ritterturnier and see what it’s all about!

If you have the most knight cards or you are the player with the Largest Army, you get to choose 1 resource for yourself. It’s a little bonus for doing well!

In the Cities and Knights expansion, you can’t choose Commodity as your resource. You have to pick something else.

Commercial Advantage (5)

I’m going to tell you about something important in the game. When I have the longest road, I can choose one resource card from any player. This can be really helpful for me.

In another part of the game, called “Cities and Knights,” I can’t use a Progress card. This rule only applies to this specific part of the game.

Now, let me talk about a specific location on the game board. It’s called the “Calm Sea 9 and 12.” It’s a place where things are peaceful and calm.

I hope you found this information useful. Keep playing and have fun!

In the game, the player who has the highest number of ports gets to select any resource they want. However, in the Cities and Knights version, they cannot choose a commodity.

Ruckzug des Raubers (Retreat of the Robber 2×4)

To start the game, put the robber back on the desert. You cannot take any cards from players who have settlements or cities on the desert.

Neighborhood Help (Tiles “10” & “11”)

Imagine this: you and a group of friends are playing a game together. The goal of the game is to collect victory points, and at the end of the game, the player with the most victory points is declared the winner. Now, here’s an interesting twist: if you are not in the lead, the player who is will give you a resource of their choice. This means that even if you’re behind, you still have a chance to catch up.

Let’s take a look at another game called “Catan: Cities and Knights.” In this game, there are commodity cards that can be given to other players. These cards can be a valuable asset in your quest for victory.

Now, let’s talk about conflict. In a game called “Conflict 3,” things can get a little tense. When there is a conflict between players, they must find a way to resolve it peacefully. It’s important to communicate and work together to find a solution that benefits everyone.

When it comes to playing the game, one key aspect is the player who has the most knight cards displayed or the player who has the largest army. This player is entitled to take one random resource card from any other player.

In the Cities and Knights expansion, the rules are a bit different. In this version, the player with the highest total number of active knights takes the card. Progress cards are not considered in this case.

A Year of Prosperity (Productive Year “2”)

When you play the game, you have the option to choose one resource that you want.

However, if you’re playing Cities and Knights, you cannot take a commodity card.

Here are the numbers that you can choose from: 3, 4, 2×5, 2×6, 4×8, 3×9, 2×10, and 11.

Hey there! I have some exciting news to share with you about the beautiful world of Catan. The settlers on the island are hardworking and as a result, this has led to prosperity all around! Let me tell you about an important event called “Jahreswechsel” or New Year on Catan.

So, what happens during New Year on Catan? Well, it’s a special time when we gather together to celebrate the successes and challenges of the previous year. It’s a time for reflection and looking ahead to the future.

During the Jahreswechsel, we take the opportunity to appreciate the hard work and dedication of our fellow settlers. We acknowledge the achievements they have made throughout the year, whether it’s building new settlements or trading resources to help each other prosper. It’s a time to recognize the spirit of community and collaboration that makes Catan such a wonderful place to live.

But it’s not just about looking back; it’s also about looking forward. We set goals and aspirations for the upcoming year, both individually and as a community. We discuss strategies for growth and development, and we make plans to improve our island even further.

During the New Year festivities, you’ll find various activities taking place all over Catan. There are lively parties with lots of dancing, singing, and laughter. We exchange gifts as a sign of appreciation for one another, fostering a sense of unity and friendship.

So, my friend, as you can see, New Year on Catan is a time of celebration, appreciation, and looking forward to a prosperous future. It’s a reminder of the hard work and dedication that has brought us together as a community. I invite you to join us in this joyous occasion and experience the spirit of Catan for yourself!

So, here’s what I want you to do. First, grab all the cards and give them a good shuffle. Once they’re all mixed up nicely, take this special card and put it on top of five other cards, making sure they’re all face down. Now, take the remaining 31 cards and place them on top of the deck, also face down. And finally, it’s time to draw a new card.
