Anno 1701: Das Kartenspiel

About this board game

Anno 1701: Das Kartenspiel is a card game for exactly two players, with an average play time of 60 minutes. Released in April 2007, it is based on both the principles of the Settlers of Catan Cardgame and the Anno 1701 computer game.

In the game, players take on the role of pioneers seeking to develop their islands as effectively as possible. Each player starts with only two houses, providing a modest foundation for the island-building challenge ahead.

Victory points are earned for controlling settlers and citizens. These two groups are central to progress and scoring, giving players a clear focus as they work to develop their island and build toward victory.

As a card game, Anno 1701: Das Kartenspiel presents the setting and development themes of Anno 1701 in a format designed for two players. Its connection to the Settlers of Catan Cardgame places it within a recognizable card-game tradition while retaining the identity of the Anno 1701 world.
