That's excellent! I actually have this version of the game, so these were the rules that we'd lost!

<p>My copy of Settlers of Catan has been missing the rule book for a while. The Catan official site has <a href="http://www.catan.com/gamerules.html" rel="nofollow">the rule book available for download</a>, but since it contains a lot of block backgrounds, it's not really printer friendly.</p>

<p>Is there anywhere I can download a printer friendly version of the base game full rules? </p>

Where can I find a printer friendly version of the settlers of catan rulebook?

My copy of Settlers of Catan has been missing the rule book for a while. The Catan official site has [the rule book available for download](http://www.catan.com/gamerules.html), but since it contains a lot of block backgrounds, it's not really printer friendly.

Is there anywhere I can download a printer friendly version of the base game full rules?

This appears to be a version of the [original rules](http://bostandjiev.com/Content/_settlers_of_catan/settlers_of_catan-almanac.pdf). The only rules differences (from 4th Edition) would be:

* That now you can move the Robber to the desert.
* Trading and Building are not distinct phases.
* Harbors are now part of the island border.
