Overview

Catan Geographies: Germany is a scenario overlay for the Catan base game that replaces the island of Catan with a fixed map of Germany. Players settle the regions of Germany, building roads, settlements, and cities across familiar German geography. The scenario uses the standard Catan resource and building system with a pre-set map featuring real German cities and regions. Special landmark tokens provide additional victory point opportunities.

Components

• 1 large fixed game board depicting Germany with terrain hexes
• Number tokens
• Landmark tokens (representing famous German sites)
• Uses standard Catan resource cards, development cards, and player pieces (not included — requires Catan base game)

Setup

Place the Germany board (fixed map, no variable setup). Place number tokens as indicated. Each player places starting settlements and roads on the pre-set map. Place landmark tokens on designated locations.

Turn Structure

Standard Catan turn structure: roll dice, trade, build. The core rules are unchanged from base Catan.

Actions

Standard Catan building costs and actions. Additionally, when you build a settlement or city adjacent to a landmark, you may claim the landmark token for bonus victory points.
