Rules

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the exceptional board game Settlers of Cataan© is the high level of player interaction. Try shaking things up by allowing card trading in your multiplayer games. As in Settlers, each trade must include the active player. There are no restrictions on the number of cards that can be traded at one time. This variant works fine for constructed deck play, but alliances form quickly among players using similar colors. Trading allows players without sufficient mana to trade the spells they can't use for land and also allows weaker players to influence the game despite their vulnerable position.

Deck Construction

Use standard deck construction rules for this variant.

Sideboard

You can have a 15-card sideboard in constructed and in limited the cards you don’t use are your sideboard.

Banned & Restricted List

When playing this variant it is usually decided what Type you will be playing. So, if you are playing Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, or Extended Don’t Settle for Less then, follow that format’s Banned and Restricted List.

Mulligan Rules

Standard “Paris” Mulligan is used for this variant.

Before each game begins, a player may, for any reason, reshuffle and redraw his hand, drawing one less card. This may be repeated as often as the player wishes, until he has no cards left in his and. After the participant, who plays first, mulligans as often as he likes, the decision of whether to mulligan passes to the other player. Once a player passes the opportunity to mulligan, that player may not change his mind.

History

This variant is from Duelist #10.
