Seafarers of Catan

Catan: Seafarers, or Seafarers of Catan in older editions (German: Die Seefahrer von Catan), is an expansion of the board game Catan for three to four players (five-to-six-player play is also possible with both of the respective five-to-six-player extensions). The main feature of this expansion is the addition of ships, gold fields, and the pirate to the game, allowing play between multiple islands. The expansion also provides numerous scenarios, some of which have custom rules. The Seafarers rules and scenarios are also, for the most part, compatible with Catan: Cities & Knights and Catan: Traders & Barbarians. The concepts introduced in Seafarers were part of designer Klaus Teuber's original design for Settlers.
