You start with 2 villages on a variable game board with fields, pastures, hills, mountains, and forests. When it's your turn, you roll 2 dice to determine who receives resources. This depends on the position of your villages. After that, you can trade with the bank or with your fellow players. You won't receive all types of resources, and you need them to build new villages, roads, and cities. You can also buy development cards to perform special actions. Furthermore, a robber roams around, plundering some landscapes.
Villages and cities not only yield resources but are also worth points. Development cards, the longest continuous road, and the largest knight army also bring in points. The first player to reach 10 points immediately wins the game!
