Section 5: Scoring & Winning
First to 10 victory points on their own turn wins. Points come from:
- Settlement: 1 point each
- City: 2 points each
- Longest Road: 2 points — held by the player with an unbroken road of 5 or more, and taken away if beaten
- Largest Army: 2 points — held by the first player to play 3 knights, likewise transferable
- Victory point development cards: 1 point each, kept hidden until you win
Because victory-point cards stay hidden, a player can appear to be on 8 and win from nowhere — which is deliberate.
