Play Catan online by building settlements, gathering resources, and trading with the table. Strong decisions connect three things: likely production, access to the resources you lack, and a realistic route to points. Check the table’s settings and target before starting.
Place initial settlements and roads in snake order. The second settlement supplies starting resources from its neighboring producing hexes.
Roll two dice on your turn. Matching hexes produce for adjacent settlements and cities; a seven triggers the robber and discards for large hands.
Trade with players or the bank and spend resources on construction or development cards. Settlements score one point, cities two, and Longest Road and Largest Army two each. Reach the table’s target to win.
