You are appointed to help the city develop. You heed the call to drive the city's growth and prosperity forward. You have already hired workers and acquired bulding materials.

Your competition is eager to outperform you and claim all of the credit. Fortunately, you'll get the hand of this business quickly. Despite having limited resources early on you have enough gold to construct your first few small buildings. Your influential connections will provide you with all the necessary building permits.

You may even become involved in the construction of the town church or the city walls. But beware of your competitors. They may try to leverage their way into your neighborhood with their own permits. If you don't watch themclosely enough, they might even attempt a hostile takeover of your buildings. Will you emerge as Elasuand's most influential city developer? Find out in this new Catan adventure.

Review This Product

I'd give it an 8.5

If you like Catan, while being tired of Catan, give this a try. It's a bit more complicated (especially the first time) in my opinion. It requires a completely different / new kind of strategy. It doesn't work with resources, but instead influence points and gold. Rolling the dice moves the ship to a new row, and each player with a building in that row receives influence or gold. Elasund is build on a grid, and not the hexagons you've grown to know and love. What's nice about this is that the play area is resized depending on the amount of players, so it's great for 2-4 players!
