In the original game, particularly with four players, the available building places get used up quite rapidly. The main difference is the ships, and, related to that, the amount of extra space there is on the board. The gold is fun, but, obviously, a magnet for the robber. Players familiar with Settlers can learn the new rules in two minutes. In essence, this is still the same great game that Settlers ever was. It can be a little time-consuming to build the board, but nothing on the epic scale of e.g. Each scenario has a map layout, usually specifying the whole board layout (the resource tiles, the number tokens, and the ports). Instead of drawing tiles randomly, the game comes with a set of different scenarios. The setup differs markedly from Settlers.
My friends deemed the tiny pirate ship insufficiently threatening, so we use the much larger barbarian ship from Cities and Knights.Īpart from the above, you're using the original development cards and so on. I love the ships! They're so cute! There's also a pirate ship the same, but in black. There are also some extra frame pieces which combine with the frames from Settlers to build the huge perimeter frame.Įach player gets a load of adorable little ships. You get a load of extra tiles some ordinary resource hexes, some sea hexes, and a couple of gold hexes. Indeed, Klaus Teuber, the games' creator, is said to have come up with the Seafarers rules as part of his original game design. Cities and Knights is much more complex, almost a different game, whereas Seafarers just feels like a few very deft tweaks to expand the original. Seafarers is notably closer in rules and play-style to original Settlers than the other major expansion, Cities and Knights.
Gold! Gold hex tiles are like wildcards they produce whatever resource you feel like.Ships! These actually represent shipping routes and work almost the same as roads, except, of course, you can use them to expand onto other islands.A larger playfield instead of a single large island, there are now several islands.Seafarers adds some fun new elements to basic Settlers. Seafarers of Catan is an expansion pack for the award-winning Settlers of Catan boardgame.
