Catan: Explorers & Pirates

Get ready to set sail in Catan: Explorers & Pirates, the fourth major expansion that broadens the Catan universe with new adventures and challenges! If you thought you'd seen it all on the main island, prepare yourself, because now there are three islands to explore, and the best part: only one of them is known at the start. The fun lies in building ships, sending your settlers out to sea, and discovering new territories. Upon reaching an unexplored area, you reveal the hex, place a number token, and even get a bonus resource! Depending on the scenario, 16 to 32 hexes might be hidden. Transform your ships into port settlements (watch out, they cost grain and ore!) which are worth victory points, just like cities, and help determine the VP goal to win. To top it off, if luck isn't on your side during the production roll (and it's not a 7), you receive gold as compensation. This gold can be traded for resources or used to escape sneaky pirates. The expansion includes five scenarios, each with its unique missions and challenges: from initial exploration in 'Land Ho!', to dealing with pirates in 'Pirate Lairs', fishing in 'Fish for Catan', trading spices in 'Spices for Catan', to the full adventure in 'Explorers and Pirates'. It's Catan elevated to a new level of strategy and discovery!
