#Catan: 5 6 player extension 5th edition how to#
RULES ON HOW TO PLAY: The object is to shoot the lowest score. Though the box of earlier editions is listed as being for 3–7 players, there is an official 2-player variant included in the instructions. Cards are passed left-right-left over the three ages, so you need to keep an eye on the neighbors in both directions. Each card is played immediately after being drafted, so you'll know which cards your neighbor is receiving and how his choices might affect what you've already built up. Some provide military strength to overpower your neighbours and others give nothing but victory points. Some cards have immediate effects, while others provide bonuses or upgrades later in the game. In essence, 7 wonders is a card development game.
each player then chooses another card from the deck they were passed, and the process repeats until players have six cards in play from that age. (Players have individual boards with special powers on which to organize their cards, and the boards are double-sided). Players reveal their cards simultaneously, paying resources if needed or collecting resources or interacting with other players in various ways. In each age, players receive seven cards from a particular deck, choose one of those cards, then pass the remainder to an adjacent player.
