Variants

Several rule variants exist. Currently, the focus is on implementing standard settlers in a browser.

Rulesets may be used in combination with each other in a game. Later, additional variants (rulesets) may be implemented. Some of those variants may be:

• Cities & Knights
  • Three commodity resources
  • Commodity development cards

Java annotations

If you do not program, you probably want to skip this stuff. If you are, great :). Every known unique feature to a variant is tagged with the appropriate Java annotation. This way we can quickly see what code belongs to a certain variant.
