Saggsen Gadan

From World Of Catan

Saggsen Gadan: The Settlers of Saxony is a promotional scenario for The Settlers of Catan released as a part of The Settlers of Saxony scenario set in September 2005.

Background

Saggsen Gadan, "Saxon Catan" in the phonic Saxon dialect, is based on the settlement of the German region of Saxony. Saxony is a region with a long history of important economic developments, characterized by prospecting and the establishment of manufacturing. Görlitz symbolizes the tradition of the commercial towns and Leipzig is one of the oldest German fair locations—a place where goods were presented and sold. Plauen became known worldwide for the products manufactured there and Annaberg-Buchholz became rich through the mining of silver. Finally, Chemnitz possesses a century-old tradition in the manufacturing of machines and automobiles. In Dresden and Torgau, the royal family of the Wettins settled—Dresden itself was established circa A.D. 380.

Goal

The goal of the scenario is it to win by the skillful collecting of raw materials and construction of buildings to settle Saxony. With progressive development, different manufacturers can be established whose products can be exchanged for victory points. But be warned, Saxony has several rivers running through the region, which can only be crossed by bridges.

Set-up

Before the first time playing, affix the manufacturing plants, development cards, victory points, king markers and the king of Saxony stickers on cardboard and cut them out.

Each player receives the pieces in his or her color from the basic game. The development and "Largest Army" cards from the base game are not needed. These are replaced by the new development cards and the King of Saxony card.
