CATAN SWITCH UPGRADE

As you can see, player strategy in picking your location for settlements, how well you trade with others, and how you choose to invest the resource your earn plays a big part in the outcome of the game. You earn вЂњvictory pointsвЂќ when you build a settlement, build a city, acquire a victory point card or win an award like вЂњlongest roadвЂќ or largest army.вЂќ There are a lot more details than what I just described, but that is the high level summary.

In addition to getting resource cards after a roll, you can also trade cards with other players.

Resource cards (in various combinations) allow you to build roads, more settlements, upgrade settlements to cities and buy development cards (which give you various advantages in the game).

Here is my take on what the game Catan is all about (and I had never played until I played the Nintendo Switch version of the game just a few weeks ago):
