Settlers of Canaan takes place in the territory of Canaan off the coast of the Great Sea. Each Player represents a tribe of Israel as they seek to settle the land of Canaan. The time period of the game spans the time of Joshua's conquests of Canaan (Joshua), the turbulent years ruled by judges (Judges) through the choosing and crowning of King David (I & II Samuel).The game uses the same basic mechanics as Settlers of Catan but adds some unique elements, similar to the Historical Scenarios. In the case of this game, players build the wall of Jerusalem by contributing bricks. The player who contributes the most bricks earns victory points and the right to use a special 'rule-breaking' power of his/her choosing. This is contested in the same manner as 'the longest road' from Settlers.Belongs to the Catan Series.Contents: Game Board 20 Settlement Pieces 16 City Pieces 60 Road Pieces 4 Victory Point Markers 115 Resource Cards 35 Development Cards 4 Building Cost Cards 3 Special Bonus Cards 2 Six-Sided Dice 1 Wood 'Plague' Pawn - BoardGameGeek
