CATAN Seafarers, Board Game EXPANSION, Ages 10+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minutes Minutes Playing Time

A great addition to the base game, and while it seems like a small addition and is the lightest expansion in comparison, it does change the game up and makes it more dynamic as well as offering 8 different scenarios to set your board up and 1 where it's completely up to you instead of the small island you're stuck on in the base game, which freshens up the game a lot if you were bored by the recurring theme of regular Catan. It's not only a good setting stone to other expansions, as this is the easiest to grasp, if you desire it's also the best expansion to combine with another, most commonly with Cities & Knights, which in terms of added gameplay it adds the most depth and strategy (and with it complexity making it a bit too much for a family game, so know what you're getting into). All in all, a fresh of breath air if you've grown stale of regular Catan and want more, but not that much more you're overwhelmed, this little thing adds a lot to your games of Catan.

We have only played the expansion once but it was so much fun. Great for the kind of groups that like to be creative with the game. I would say if you only play the one standard way this is a waste of money. But for those who like to mix it up, this is amazing. Also, makes the game last much longer

Great way to expand the Catan game without making it too complicated or drawn our (like some of the other expansions). It makes the game a lot more replay-able as you can build a completely different map each time and have more variety. Build quality is great, I read some reviews beforehand which did criticise this but I have no complaints. All the tiles have a little Ship in the corner too which is handy when putting them away as you can quickly identify which ones are from the Seafarers expansion.

Bought this expansion as its widely considered the best expansion for the catan games. However, my main gripe is the change of style of pieces. I have an older edition of the base game and now none of my pieces match as I would like, Its still playable but it does annoy me (perhaps unjustly). Secondly, this is just the expansion to the base game and adds no players, you need to fork out another £40 for the seafarers added player expansion. If it didnt end up coming out of my bank account I'd think the practice was very clever.

regular catan not enough? want to add the excitement of the sea?! well youve come to the right place you pastey land lover

Love the game. The gallery version was a present 5 years ago and immediately bought the basic and seafarers versions. Now worn out the board and cards. Needed a new set and this current release is superb. I was brought up on board and card games and this is now the only board game I play. Best with four people but 3-6 is possible (5 or 6 needs extension sets). Seems a little expensive for a board game but well worth it. If you have never played it before buy the basic set first. Add the seafarers extension when you feel you need a bit more excitement and you will not be disappointed.

I've been playing the original Catan for a while now and have been looking at all the various expansions and eventually decided on Seafarers. We found it easy to learn and it's a great first expansion if you're just coming from the main game, and there are several different scenarios to choose from so you don't get through it quickly! Would recommend as a first expansion pack if you're not sure which one to go for!

Wow. Catan isn't just a board game. It's a lifestyle. It has brought together and created a bond so tight between some find young men. Many trials and tribulations, joyous and memorable times, and absolute Shanter has been had through playing this masterpiece. The seafairers addition adds a new twist to this life changing experience. Unfortunately one member of our clan is hellbent on cheating but he is on close watch; don't you worry. Thank you for providing this experience for us; the settlers of Catan. Let's continue to trade wood until the sun sets on this beautiful life.

Esta expansión es buenísima para darle variedad al clásico de catan. Se pueden jugar diferentes escenarios lo que te da diferentes juegos en uno solo, ya casi no jugamos el clásico y vamos jugando las diferentes expansiones. Llegó en tiempo y forma y sin ningún detalle.

super happy with this purchase. this expansion box takes the Original Catan game to another level. highly recomemnded

We love this expansion! It adds alot of fun to Catan. Great gift, will be getting more expansions!

This is my favorite expansion pack - it gives the larger board for more players with exciting new play options. The best thing is while it adds to the game, it so different that it’s too difficult for newer players to understand quickly - no one wants to spend half the night explaining the difference in rules! The basics are adding ships that cost two resources, add another variation of the robber, and some basic placement rules similar to building/connecting roads. The rule book includes different setups with specific challenges or points that are fun and provide even more variations - for example, one setup has mystery resource tiles to claim once your ships reach that part of the board. If you want to just free play with random setups to get playing quickly that’s also an option. The board pieces themselves are high quality and interlock well. We fit all the important pieces in one Catan box and moved the extra instructions and papers into the other rather than having to open up both boxes for game night. Enjoy!

Excellent game for a family of 3/4 members. Only the extension part will be supplied. We need to have the original catan game inorder to extend
