Catan: Event Cards

Replaces dice rolls with a 36-card deck that models all two-dice combinations and mirrors their probabilities. Players draw a card each turn to determine which numbered hex produces resources, with the deck also able to simulate a single-die roll for use with certain expansions. The deck includes a variety of event cards: several trigger the robber on rolls of 7, some introduce unique or repeating events, and many cards carry no special effect. A “New Year” card occasionally forces a reshuffle, removing the next five cards from play before continuing.

    It's just a bunch of cards with some random stuff to use instead of dice. If you hate dice, get them, otherwise, don't bother.

    Not a necessary expansion, but a nice change of pace - especially to those who can't stand that not a single "5" was rolled in their game. See my review for more details...
