From the BGG Geeklist entry:

Settlers? as download print-and-play?

Oh yes. Here: http://www.info.catan.de/paper_and_pencil.html

When you print the main PDF you find the resources, the rules (in german) and 4 boards. (4 more available in a separate PDF). Cut out the resources (wood, wheat, sheep, ore, brick) and the robber and you're ready to play.

(HINT: if you have a large scale printer available, the boards look much better if you print them on A3 (16.53"x11.68") sized paper instead.)

In addition to this you need:

  • 2 d6
  • 4 colored pencils, one each of red, blue, black & green.

There are a few notable differences to this game compared to the original:

  1. No development cards
  2. Play only to 7VP
  3. A player may only buy 3 more settlements through the whole game, i.e. when a settlement has been upgraded to a city you can't 'reuse' it as in the original. So in order to win, a player must buy at least 2 cities (X marks the spot).
