Gameplay
How to Start
Colonist.io loads instantly and allows you to join a game quickly and easily.
You can create a game with up to four players on one of the classic original maps or with custom maps.
Resource Acquisition
Each turn, you either roll or use your die to determine resources you will gain or trade.
You can use these resources to build settlements, roads, and ships or increase your power through the bonuses that are built into the game.
Building Settlements and Roads
Once you gain enough resources, you can build settlements, roads, and ships.
This gives you an edge on the game and increases your chances of becoming the biggest city-state on the board.
As you build settlements, roads, and ships, you also increase your points and can then build bigger and better settlements.
