You will not regret it. Kärntener Zeitung "The Seafarers" is not only an expansion of "The Settlers of Catan" - it brings a new dimension to the game and is therefore unconditionally recommended for all game fans. Reutlinger Generalanzeiger Whoever thoroughly plays through the diverse possibilities in "The Seafarers" will inevitably come to the realization that "The Settlers of Catan", along with this expansion set, has absolutely completed the metamorphosis to a beautifully carved diamond of the gaming world. Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung The Seafarer's Expansion Set contains a stabile cardboard frame, which can be modified to accommodate different size playing areas. You can lay out new island worlds in this frame with the landscapes in the basic game and additional landscapes in the expansion set - either according to the included models or according to your own imagination. Fifteen ships of each color are included. It costs one Wood and one Wool to build a ship. Whoever builds a ship sets it adjacent to a coastal settlement or to a previously-built ship of the same color. Similar rules apply for the placement of ships as apply for the placement of roads on land. There is, however, an important exception: The position of the front ships in the line can be changed. Now the player can react flexibly against the actions of the opposition and possibly be the first to reach an unsettled, high-yielding island. Also new to the exploration are Gold tiles, which help you find any type of resource, and the Pirate, who causes unrest on the peaceful seas. Short info: Requirements: Cleverness in trading, strategy, tactic, luck Ages: Adults and children from age 10 Number of players: 3 to 4 (with the expansion, also playable for 5 and 6 players) Length of game: 60 to 90 minutes.
