My favorite board games #2

This game was made in Germany in 1995 and it became famous worldwide.

I wanted to buy an English version, but my children couldn't read English message cards used in the game at that time, so I bought Japanese version instead.

This is a land development simulation game.

The gerund doesn't quite work here, in my opinion.

Players get some raw materials such as lumber, brick, wheat, wool, and ore from board positions.

They can obtain materials which they want by exchanging or trading.

I think trading covers exchanging, too.

Then they create settlements, cities, and roads using the raw materials.

The winner is the first player who could gets a set number of points by building these elements of civilization.

I changed the verb to "building" to avoid repeating the same word so many times.

I'm a stickler for commas. :) I think it'll help the legibility. I struck the "at that time" because the subordinate clause was getting a bit long and ambiguous, and the past tense leaves the possibility that they might be able to read them now.

Whoever could earns the most points by creating this civilization is declared as the winner.

Perhaps you could say, "I wanted to buy the English version of the game, however my children couldn't understand the English text written on the cards so I decided to buy the Japanese version instead.
