Definitions:

Hex Corners — Each Hexagonal tile (Hex tile) in the game has 6 Corners. A Hex Corner is any one of the 6 Corners on a Hex tile.

Starting Hex Corners — Any Hex Corner where Settlements can legally be placed at the start of the game. The Hex Corner must be adjacent to a Land Hex tile.

Distance Rule — No Settlement may be placed on a Hex Corner if another Settlement or City already occupies an adjacent Hex Corner. This rule applies both during setup and during the game, and it is checked before any other placement condition.

Safe Hand Size — The maximum number of cards a Player can safely hold in their hand. In the game all Players safe hand size is 7. Whenever a 7 is rolled, if Players are holding more cards than their safe hand size, half of their cards are randomly discarded.

Achievement Bonuses — When another Player matches your number of Roads or played Knights, you keep the bonus "Longest Road" or "Largest Army". These bonuses are only lost when an opponent exceeds your count — that is, has more Roads or more Knights than you.
