Game Components

  • To play this scenario, you need all game pieces and cards from the base game.

Preparations

Put the game mat and all game pieces and cards from the base game on the table. Place the robber on one of the desert hexes. All of the base game rules apply to this scenario, with the following exceptions:

  • Each time you build your first settlement at an oasis where you haven't built a settlement yet, you receive 2 additional victory points. It does not matter if other players have already built adjacent to that oasis. Don't forget to add these points to your total victory point count!

Example: you have built your two starting settlements adjacent to the oasis in the bottom left hand corner. Using roads, you reach the oasis in the top left hand corner. You build your first settlement there and receive 2 additional victory points. From there, you reach the oasis in the top right hand corner. You also build a settlement there and again receive 2 additional victory points.

End of the Game

The first player to reach 13 victory points on his or her turn wins the game.
