The newest expansion for Settlers of Catan includes five scenarios and three missions, which can be mixed and matched. The Basic Idea: More new stuff for players to try The other three scenarios include caravans of camels for trading and a scenario that’s like a mini “Cities and Knights.” Adding everything together makes the game very complicated. Of the five scenarios, two are updated versions of previously published material (Fishermen of Catan and The Rivers of Catan). The variants include the friendly robber, a Harbormaster victory point card, an event card deck, and even the rules for two player Catan. There’s four variants and five scenarios inside the box. Not much of a story this time, just a bunch of fun add-ons.
The Basic Idea: A collection of mini expansions and variants It’s one giant, complex scenario that’s a lot of fun. A City can also be upgraded to a Metropolis (which is immune to damage from the barbarians). These function similar to resources, but are used to purchase upgrades for your cities. There are knight tokens (used to fight the barbarians), and a new type of card, commodities (coins, paper and cloth). This expansion introduces a lot of new stuff. The story here is that barbarians have been attracted to the wealth of Catan and players want to build up their cities and armies to stop the invaders. The Basic Idea: Makes the game more complex Each has a different board set up and some of them add new goals for winning. It also has ships (which function like roads, but on sea hexes), a pirate (functions like the robber) and gold field hex tiles (which produce one resource of your choice!). Seafarers includes 19 sea hex tiles, which makes the board bigger and gives players multiple islands to explore. The story is that the settlers have gone beyond the original island of Catan and discovered even more islands. Please note that all Catan expansions require the base Settlers of Catan game (red box) to play. Now we present our answer to this question in print for the first time, with the expansions listed in order of release. “What is the difference between all the expansions?” is one of the most common questions we hear. We will happily answer any questions people have about the game. Settlers of Catan is one of our favorite games at the Baord Game Barrister stores.
