Solitaire rules for Catan Card Game?

Question

I want to play the Catan Card Game more often than I can find someone with the patience to play it with me. I know there are some good solitaire rules for Settlers of Catan, but are there any for the Catan Card Game?

Answer 1

It has been more than a year since I've asked this question. So, here are the rule modifications that I've play-tested. It seems to balance well, though I would like the game to go a little longer.

Objective: Get 12 victory points before 3 years are up.

• Remove the following cards from play: "Conflict" event, Merchant, Herb Woman, and all Attack cards.
• Shuffle Event cards without the "Year End" card. Pick 4 random cards from the shuffled event card deck and shuffle those 4 cards with the "Year End" card. Put this (5 card) stack on the bottom of the event card deck.
• 5 commerce points earns you the windmill token.
• 7 strength points earns you the knight token.
• When a tournament is rolled on the event die, if your number of tournament points is greater than or equal to the number rolled on the resource die, you get one extra resource of your choice.
