About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fans! If you enjoy the Catan vibe but are looking for something more direct for a two-player showdown, check out this expansion: Wissenschaft & Fortschritt (Science & Progress). Released back in 1999, this gem adds 28 new cards to the original Catan Card Game, focusing on technological and scientific development. Think game-changing inventions like the University or a cannon to give you that extra boost! The idea is that many of these cards came from suggestions by players worldwide, giving it a special community touch. It's a two-player game, so get ready for a direct duel! The complexity is moderate, ideal for those who already know the basics and want to add extra spice to their games. Prepare to explore new strategies and see who masters science and progress on the island of Catan. Oh, and a heads-up: the game requires a good understanding of German or a well-done translation, as the text on the cards is essential for playing. If you don't mind that or already have the translated version, this expansion is worth it for those who want more depth and novelty in the Catan Card Game.
