About this product
Take CATAN beyond the shore with ships, new islands, fresh scenarios, and a bigger sense of adventure.
A brilliant first expansion for CATAN fans who want more exploration, more map variety, and more ways to grow their settlements across the sea.
Expand your CATAN world with ships, island discovery, and ocean-spanning strategy.
Product Description
CATAN: Seafarers expands the base game with a whole new sense of discovery. Instead of staying tied to one island, players can build ships, cross the sea, settle new lands, and compete for resources across the wider Catanian archipelago.
It keeps the familiar heart of CATAN while adding new scenarios, new challenges, and more map variety. If your group already enjoys the base game, this is an excellent next step for bringing more adventure and replayability to the table.
