You need to know what the setting is. I normally play around six o'clock at night. I play downstairs and barely upstairs. I play near the fireplace so it is warm. All the places I play is where I want to be.
These are all the pieces for Catan look like and what they are. The whole board is in a shape of a hexagon. There are eighteen hexagon tiles and six other tiles that keep them together. There are six stacks of different resource cards to build roads, settlements, cities, and development cards. Knowing what you need for a game is very important.
