6.FAQ (Team Battle)
What is the win condition for team battles?
Your team wins when the combined victory points of both team members reach the target score (default 12 points). Unlike individual games, the total team score is used for the win condition.
What is Team Trade?
Team Trade is a special system that lets you do a 1:1 resource exchange with your teammate once per turn for free. Each player offers exactly 1 resource (same-type exchanges are not allowed). The trade details are kept secret from the opposing team.
Can I see my teammate's hand?
Yes, your teammate's resource types and quantities, as well as development card types and quantities, are always visible. Opponents' hands remain hidden as usual.
Can I steal from my teammate with the robber?
Yes, you can steal from your teammate by the rules. However, it's recommended to prioritize targeting the opposing team for better team strategy.
Are Longest Road and Largest Army shared between teammates?
No, Longest Road and Largest Army are evaluated individually. When earned, those victory points count as the individual's score and are added to the team total.
What happens if my teammate disconnects or leaves?
If disconnected, automatic actions are performed by the timer, and they can rejoin if they reconnect. If they manually leave, AI takes over their actions and the game continues.
