2 vs 2 ... and other Team Games
Some rules to suggest
Consider when doing team games, that victory points are combined. I.e. both players in combo need 20 VPs, not each player get to ten (this way you are helping each other, not playing independent).
Consider having roads be shared. I.e. if i build a road, you could build a road, then I could build a settlement. That way there is true coop play. However, settlements and cities are your own. So you couldnt put a settlement on mine.
Teams shouldn't be allowed to trade with each other. or you'd never trade with opponents.
If you like any of these, I can go on and on.

AlexInAuburnI think this is a great idea for Fun Mode Games space. Team option. I think that if your a team then you should both have the same color and should be able to build cities on each others settlements and add to each others roads. Card sharing should be allowed at anytime for partners.

ZenHere are a couple of examples for what people have already done with the base game at home:
* https://www.reddit.com/r/Catan/comments/4doyna/house_rules_2v2_catan/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body
* https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/554992/team-settlers-catan-2-vs-2-duel
* https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/comments/2s3og3/team_rules_for_settlers_of_catan_what_do_you_think/
It'd also be worthy to look and see if this has been done before (i.e. with Catan Universe); if so, the developers could see an example and potential pitfalls.
If this is implemented, it should be expanded for more teams and perhaps even different team combinations (i.e. 2v2v2v2, 3v3, 4v4; even something like 3v3v2 could have some weight). This would also be an additional motivator for people to buy the player expansions. -

SnI love the idea! I think trading between the same team shouldnt be banned because it prevents strategies where teams diversify their production and resources. Other than the trading, it's a great proposal!

Daniel Bizin MergedI think it's time we consider adding the 2 versus 2 mode to colonist.io. I would personally love to play a mode like 2v2 due to its new variety of strategies and competitiveness. And honestly, I think I'll play way more colonist if the mode was implemented. The downside of the mode would be if your teammate left and a bot substituted him but nonetheless..what do you guys think of a mode like 2v2?

HunterKiller MergedThat's an interesting suggestion imo, but I'm not sure if such mode wouldn't need some kind of additional rules. But this would be the most fun if you have the board game at home and play 2v2 with your friends.

SristiI really want 2 vs 2 game mode. It would be more fun to play with a friend. Everytime there's a notification about game updates, I always check if 2 v 2 has been added.
Hoping to get it soon c: -

KevinTrading between teams could require a transfer fee to the bank.
I.e. If I want to give my partner stone, I must give the bank 1 stone. I can give as many stone as I want, but the bank must get 1. In order to feed my partner 3 stone for a city, I must have 4 such that the bank can get one. If I want to feed my partner 2 wheat and 3 stone, I must have 3 wheat and 4 stone such that 1 wheat and 1 stone go to the bank.
