The Settlers of Catan - 15th Anniversary Wood Edition
Settlers of Catan
Catan® is a modern classic. An international favorite, it has redefined social board games. Now you can create Catan out of wood and enjoy settling and building using specially tooled wooden pieces.

Embark on a quest to settle the fair isle of Catan! Guide your brave settlers to victory by using clever trading and development. Use resources (grain, wool, ore, brick, and lumber) to build roads, settlements, and cities, and buy development cards. Acquire your resources through trades or the role of the dice. But beware! You never know when someone might cut off your road or if the robber will appear and steal your precious gains. Are you the best trader, builder, or settler? Will you master Catan?

This special limited 15th Anniversary Wood Edition of The Settlers of Catan® is designed for 3-6 players.

The strong, compartmentalized box contains: 52 thick, beautifully illustrated map hexagons, 144 specially designed playing pieces, 6 hexagonal building costs summaries and 2 special victory point markers, 1 vile robber, 2 dice, and 28 random number chits-all made from sturdy wood. The 154 cards, like the hexes, bear fine artwork from Michael Menzel. Enjoy this special, limited production-suitable for travel or your nicest coffee table-with friends or family for many decades to come.


 
Players are recent immigrants to the newly populated island of Catan. Expand your colony through the building of settlements, roads, and villages by harvesting commodities from the land around you. Trade sheep, lumber, bricks and grain for a settlement, bricks and wood for a road, or try to complete other combinations for more advanced buildings, services and specials.

Trade with other players, or at local seaports to get resources you might lack. The first player to achieve 10 points from a combination of roads, settlements, and special cards wins.



Conflict of Heroes: Price of Honour - Poland 1939
1853 - India
Conflict of Heroes merges the elegance of streamlined Eurogame rules with deep strategic wargames. The series is designed to create a tense and highly interactive game play experience. You must manage multiple command resources to move, attack, and take other actions with your units. This gives you great flexibility in executing your battle plans, but makes constant caution necessary as unit activations on either side can happen at any time. Price of Honor is an expansion and requires ownership of either Rise of Hero or Storms of Steel to play.

Price of Honour includes 2 new Polish landscape mounted boards, 2 Sheets of early war Polish, German and Russian tanks, airplanes and other units, 1 Sheet including all Awakening the Bear upgraded counters with new artwork and updated stats, 16 firefights. 10 playable with the AtB base game and 10 playable with the SoS base game, New summary sheets summarizing terrain and unit data for all of the Eastern Front games, Rule sheet adendum covering cavalry charges and other new unit data.

For 2 Players.
