Elasund: The First City
Players work together and compete to build and fortify a bustling port city on Catan. Each turn, players place buildings, hire guards and merchants, and manage resources to develop districts while balancing cooperation so that pirate raids and other threats target rival quarters instead of their own. Negotiation, placement and timing drive the game as players vie for influence and prestige while contributing to the city’s overall defenses and infrastructure.

Pahn6.0 Played once at 2 players, would like to try again with 4. Seems pretty cutthroat, which I certainly dig.

Tom7.0 A new, different game from Klaus Teuber. Not the same as Catan, but similar, with some cutthroat play. See my review for details...
