INTRODUCTIONAll of us are longing for eateries, hotels, and B & Bs to reopen. Fortunately, there are still hostels on Catan that offer traveling merchants excellent room and board.

You can use these special hostel cards as an addition to the Rivals for CATAN™ introductory game and when playing the theme games.

GAME COMPONENTS• 2 Hostel special cards• 1 instructions sheet

PREPARATIONCrafting the Special Cards

Print out this sheet, cut out the cards along the dashed lines, and glue the card faces to the card backs (or put them into card sleeves).

Set-upPlace the 2 Hostel cards as a face-up expansion card stack next to the draw stacks

(see “The Theme Games > General Rules > Preparation-2” in the Rivals for CATAN™ rules). For example, the face-up expansion card stack in the Era of Gold theme set would consist of 2 Merchant Guild cards and 2 Hostel cards.

EXPLANATION

• Each player may only build 1 Hostel in their principality.

• You must have a hero in your principality before you can build the Hostel.

• The Hostel changes the effect of the Traveling Merchant event card for you. Instead of

paying 1 gold for each resource you take (maximum 2), you take 2 resources for free.

• The Hostel cards are not ideal for The Duel of the Princes version of Rivals. Reason: The backs of the cards you crafted differ from the cards of the game, which means that you can identify them in the stacks. However, if you still want to use them in The Duel of the Princes, you should place them in a separate face-up expansion card stack.
