Game Rules for 3-4 Players

In order to settle this region, you need the game pieces and cards from your Catan game. You also need additional markers for victory point (VP) tokens; you can use Catan chits from the Catan: Seafarers expansion, coins, or whatever else is handy. The standard Catan rules apply to this scenario, with the following exceptions listed below.

Game Rules for 5-6 Players

In addition to the standard Settlers of Catan rules, the rules of Catan 5-6 Player Extension rules are also in effect. Furthermore, all of the Catan Geographies: Kennessee rules (1-8 below) are in effect, with the following exception: Before beginning, no VP tokens are placed on the VP intersections. VP spaces no longer grant you a VP. Instead, they are treated as regular city fields (see rules 1 and 2).

Geographies: Kennessee Rules

1. Settlement Building: Settlements may only be built on the named "city fields" (marked with the city-field symbol) - nowhere else. Unless you are playing with 5-6 players, in which case all of the VP intersections are also "city fields."

2. VP Intersections (marked with the VP symbol): Before beginning a 3-4 player game, place a VP token (worth 1 VP) on each VP symbol on the board. The first player to build a road to an intersection with a VP token takes that VP token.

   In a 5-6 player game, these intersections do not receive a VP token but are instead located as if they were regular city fields. Hence, all rules that apply to regular city fields also apply to the VP intersections in a 5-6 player game.

3. Road Building: You can only build roads on the "road fields" (marked with the road-field symbol) or the "trading road fields" (marked with the trading-road-field symbol). If you build a road adjacent to a city field, you may only build another road beyond this field after you build a settlement on this field.

4. 3:1 Resource/Commodity Trade: If you build a road on a trading road field beside a 3:1 scroll, you may trade any 3 of the same type of resource for any 1 other resource of your choice. Additionally, if you are using the [illegible in source photo] Variant, additional special rules apply (see 9. below).

5. Special 2:1 Trade: If you build a road on a trading road field by a special 2:1 scroll, you may trade resources to the supply as stated in the scroll next to the field. So, you may trade 2 of the same depicted resource type for [illegible in source photo] resource of your choice.

6. "Off Map" Settlements: In a 5-6 player game, players may build [illegible in source photo] (and cities) on the VP token locations. In these cases the [illegible in source photo] here produce resources for the obviously adjacent terrains as usual, even if the map terrain does not fully extend to the VP intersection.
