Which Board Game Has a "Humdinger" Card? Catan's Victory Point Card

The Humdinger is a Development Card in Catan (Settlers of Catan).

Card Effect

  • +1 Victory Point (revealed immediately or held secretly per house rule).
  • Road Building bonus: Allows building 1 road for 2 Wood (instead of 1 Brick + 1 Wood).

Context

  • Part of the Development Card deck (25 cards: 14 Knights, 5 Victory Points, 2 Road Building, 2 Year of Plenty, 2 Monopoly).
  • "Humdinger" is the flavor name for the Victory Point card in English editions (other VPs: Library, Market, Palace, University).
  • Art: A festive town celebration.

Strategic Note

VP cards are hidden info — revealing Humdinger early signals strength; holding it enables surprise wins at 10 VP. The road discount is situational but powerful on wood-heavy boards.

No other major board game uses the name "Humdinger" for a card.
