I played a long-distance version of Settlers of Catan, the wildly popular and complex board game, with 3 of my friends. Here's how you can do it from your own home.
It's free to play, but you can buy "Catan Gold" within it to unlock features like different theme sets and expansions; 100 pieces of Catan Gold are $.99.
While Catan is generally played with four players, we quickly realized that Catan Universe was optimized for three players.Technically, the game required us to buy an expansion for all of us to play. At long last, it was time to start the game. The board set itself and chose who went first. The rules were the same as in the board game: Every player got to put down one road and one settlement. I was selected last, so I got to place two roads and two settlements.I could drop my roads and cities by clicking on those dots.
If you're making a trade, you indicate what resource you have, and what you want. All other players get a pop-up with the proposed trade. Here's Adam trading with me.To place a road or settlement, once I had the necessary materials, I could click on them during my turn. Then, I could click where I wanted to place the materials. Here's me expanding my empire.Same deal with development cards: I could just click that black stack of them to the right.
We started a new game later that night, this time only with three players. This made all the difference — we could select who was in the game and turn off the auto timer.This time it was just Rose, Adam, and me. Asya was taking a 9 p.m. nap, so she sat this one out.
