VICTORY POINT CARDS
Victory Point Cards are yellow
frame Development CardsY, so
they can be “bought.” These Development Cards represent
important cultural achievements, represented by certain
buildings.
Each Victory Point Card is worth 1 victory point.
You only reveal your Victory Point Cards when you or some-
one else wins the game! Keep Victory Point Cards hidden until
you have 10 points during your turn and you can declare
victory. (You should also reveal them if someone else wins.)
Hint: Again, keep your Victory Point Cards hidden until the end of
the game. Place them face down in front of you. Of course, if you
have 1 or 2 unused cards face
down in front of you for a
long time, the other players
will assume that they are
Victory Point Cards.
VICTORY POINTS
The first player to reach
(be at) 10 victory points
on his turn wins the game.
Players acquire victory
points (VPs) for the
following:
1 Settlement
= 1 VP
1 City = 2 VPs
Longest Road
Special Card = 2 VPs
Largest Army
Special Card = 2 VPs
Victory Point Card = 1 VP
Since each player begins
with 2 settlements, each
player begins the game
with 2 victory points.
Therefore, you only need
8 more victory points to
win the game!
