About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a celebration in grand style with Catan: 25 Jahre Jubiläums-Edition! This special edition isn't just a pretty face to celebrate Catan's 25 years; it comes packed with the base game everyone loves, the Seafarers expansion to broaden horizons (literally!), and two brand-new scenarios: Catan: Hawaii and Catan: Iberian Peninsula. It's the perfect chance to dive into the Catan universe with a robust collection offering variety and hours of fun.
The objective remains the same: colonize the island of Catan, collect resources, build roads and settlements, and be the first to reach 10 victory points. The novelty here is the sheer amount of content you get. With Seafarers, you'll explore the sea, discover new islands, and navigate your way to victory. The additional scenarios bring unique challenges and themes, like the tropical beauty of Hawaii or the rich history of the Iberian Peninsula. Each scenario might slightly alter the rules or the game's focus, ensuring the experience never gets monotonous.
Dice rolls still dictate resource production, and trading between players is key to getting what you need. But be careful not to confuse this edition with the "25th Anniversary Edition," as they contain different content. This one is the complete party for Catan fans who want the maximum content in a single box!
