Essential Viewing Before Play

Colonist.io is a free-to-play online board game, drawing inspiration from Settlers of Catan. In this game, players take on the role of settlers aiming to build a thriving civilization by expanding their territory, engaging in trade, and assembling a powerful army. You can set up a game with friends and work together to create your empire!

How to Play

Getting Started

If you\'re familiar with Catan, you\'ll find Colonist.io easy to pick up. For newcomers, the game provides detailed instructions and a helpful tutorial mode to guide you through the basics. The tutorial is user-friendly and offers the chance to play against simple AI opponents.

Basic Rules of Colonist.io

Each time you roll the dice, you\'ll receive resources corresponding to the numbers shown on the game board. Use these resources to build settlements, cities, roads, and development cards. The development cards include knights, which allow you to build your army and steal resources from other players. If you need a specific resource, you can trade with fellow players or the bank. Settling near a port enhances your trade options, providing better exchange rates for certain resources.

The primary objective in Colonist.io is to earn 10 victory points. Points can be gained by building settlements and cities, having the longest road or largest army, and collecting victory point (VP) cards. Keep these goals in mind as you build your empire!
