Product Description

Seventy years after the arrival of the first settlers, the Catanians have expanded throughout Catan. In Catan: Legend of the Sea Robbers, you and your fellow clan leaders play through four linked chapters, exploring new surroundings by sea. In each chapter, the Council of Catan provides a special mission that not only benefits your clan, but helps maintain peace throughout these new lands. Faced with the threat of the Sea Robbers, it is important for you to work to benefit your clan and open up new regions by building roads and settlements, always being mindful of Catan’s common good. The tasks given by the Council are their own reward and the ultimate goal—finding the right balance between strengthening your clan and completing these missions is key to the prosperity of Catan! This is not a standalone product. A copy of the Catan and Catan: Seafarers is required to play.

The resource territory hexes have number disks (from 1-12) on them and a player generates that resource if they have buildings on the corners of the hexes and the corresponding number is rolled!

- In a players turn:

They roll the dice, everyone who is eligible collects resource cards based on the roll, unless a 7 is rolled (in which case the current player moves the Robber to a hex of his choice, which blocks all resource generation until the Robber gets moved again)
They may trade cards at a port (if they have one) and/or trade resource cards with other players and then/or,
They may spend resource cards for improvements

- Points scoring is contributed by building settlements and cities, building the longest consecutive road, commanding the largest army, or certain development cards that award points (held in secret). First player to 10 points is the winner.

This expansion provides a campaign story to your games of Catan: Seafarer, with players receiving objectives to achieve. Furthermore, it introduces an interesting co-operative element to the game, complicating and challenging Catan fans.
