Everyone acts at the same time, regardless of whether they are active or inactive.
All players may trade with the supply at 4:1 or 3:1 or 2:1 when built on a trading post.

You receive 2 bonus VP each time you build your first settlement in a new region.
The largest army bonus requires a minimum of 2 knight tiles.
Resources are always kept visible.
The game is infinitely expandable by adding more CATAN – Connect games.
There is 1 robber per player. A robber may only move within its own starting region.
The app determines where the robber is moved when a 7 is rolled. After the player has discarded the resources and moved the robber there is no stealing of resources from other players.
When a knight is played, the robber can be moved to the desert. The player can now take one supply in correspondence to the robber's initial position. If the robber was in the desert initially, the player may take a resource of choice from the supply.
