How to Play & Winning

The first player to reach the target victory points (VP) wins instantly. The host picks 8 · 10 · 12 · 15 VP when creating a room (8 is the quick default, 10 is the classic length). Higher targets pair well with the unlimited pieces option. There are also Dokkaebi off (no robbing on 7 / General cards), bot difficulty (easy/normal/hard), and hidden VP cards options.

• Settlement = 1 VP
• City = 2 VP
• 🛣️ Longest Road +2 — one player with the longest road of length 5+. It can be stolen by a longer road, or lost if an opponent’s settlement cuts yours.
• ⚔️ Greatest Force +2 — one player who has played the most General cards (3+).
• 🏆 VP card +1 — a development card type (see below).

Tiles produce five resources used for building and trading.

• Clay · Lumber — the basics for roads and settlements
• Horsehair · Tangerine — also needed for settlements
• Basalt · Tangerine — needed to upgrade to a city

At the start, players place 2 settlements with 2 attached roads in snake order (1→2→3→4→4→3→2→1). You collect starting resources from the tiles around your second settlement. Settlements must be at least one intersection apart.

1. Roll the dice — buildings adjacent to tiles with the rolled number produce resources (settlement 1, city 2).
2. On a 7 — the Dokkaebi phase begins (see below).
3. Trade — exchange with the bank or a Naru harbor.
4. Build — roads, settlements, cities.
5. End turn — pass to the next player.

• When the dice total 7, everyone holding 8+ resource cards discards half (rounded down).
• The roller moves the Dokkaebi to another tile. A tile with the Dokkaebi produces nothing.
• The roller then steals one random resource card from one opponent adjacent to that tile.

Trading here is bank & Naru harbor only (no direct player-to-player deals).

• Bank 4:1 — trade 4 identical resources for any 1.
• Naru 3:1 — 3:1 with a settlement on any Naru harbor.
• Specialty Naru 2:1 — 2:1 for that resource at its dedicated Naru.

During your action phase, pay basalt + horsehair + tangerine to buy one development card (25-card deck). You may play one card per turn, and not on the turn you bought it (VP cards excepted).

• ⚔️ General — move the Dokkaebi and steal a card. Play 3+ to claim Greatest Force (+2 VP).
• 🛣️ Road Building — place 2 roads for free.
• 🌾 Year of Plenty — take any 2 resources from the bank.
• 🪙 Monopoly — name a resource and take all of it from every opponent.
• 🏆 Victory Point — +1 VP instantly (counted automatically). Hidden from opponents by default, revealed at game end (the host can make them public).
