Catan Adventures: Elasund the First City

Catan Adventures: Elasund, the First City by Klaus Teuber and Mayfair Games is a stand-alone game in the Catan series, and recommended for 2 to 4 players ages 10 to adult and plays in 60 to 90 minutes.
Elasund is growing rapidly and Catanians are streaming into the city, eager to make a fortune! You are appointed to help the city develop. You heed the call to drive the city's growth and prosperity.

Hire workers, acquire building materials. What will your next build be? The competition is eager to excel and claim all of the credit! Limited resources early on will limit players to a few small buildings. Your influential connections will provide you with all the necessary building permits. In Elasund, nothing works without building permits!

Once buildings are constructed, they can generate either gold or influence for you. Soon you can start going after bigger projects! Soon enough you may become involved in grander projects, such as building the church or the city walls.

But beware of your competitors! They may try to leverage their way into your neighborhood with their own permits!

If you don’t watch them closely enough, they might attempt a hostile takeover of your buildings!
