Settler Game Set - Explorers & Pirates

The Settlers of Catan –
Explorers & Pirates

The Catan expansion, released in 2013, is all about discovery!

Sent by the Council of Catan, you set out into unknown territory to establish new bases. There are vague reports of dangerous pirate lairs, rich fishing grounds, and helpful native villages waiting for you beyond the horizon.

That sounds like a lot of content? It is. However, you needn't worry, as the "Explorers & Pirates" expansion is modular. In the first scenario, the introductory game, you'll first familiarize yourself with the basic rules before gradually playing the subsequent scenarios with the previously described missions. From there, you can choose which one(s) you'd like to play most.

Once you've played the first four scenarios, you can fulfill all three of the previously described missions simultaneously in the fifth scenario, which bears the expansion's name. You'll then play on the largest possible playing area, scoring 17 victory points. This scenario for experienced Catan fans can easily turn an entire evening into an exciting experience.
