## FAQ
### Do I need the base game 7 Wonders to play this expansion?
Absolutely! 7 Wonders: Catan is a mini-expansion, so it only works if you have the original 7 Wonders game.

### How much additional playtime does this expansion add?
Very little! The expansion adds just one new Wonder, so the game time doesn't increase significantly. It's more of a seasoning than a radical change.

### How many players can use this expansion?
The expansion is for 7 Wonders, so it works for the same player count as the base game: 2 to 7 players.

### Does this expansion change the rules of 7 Wonders much?
No, the change is minimal. It adds a new Wonder with its own characteristics, but the game's core remains the same. It's a variation, not a revolution.

### Is it difficult to incorporate this expansion into games?
Not at all! It's super simple. You just need to choose this new Wonder for one of the players, following the normal Wonder selection rules of the base game.

### Is it worth buying just for the tribute to Catan?
If you're a big fan of both games and enjoy having collectible items with this theme, then yes! It's more of a sentimental item and a completionist's piece than an expansion that drastically changes the game.
