Editorial Review: Product Description: In The Seafarers of Catan you control a group of seafaring settlers exploring and taming the uncharted Isles of Catan. Embark on a quest to settle the island, build ships, and chart the nearby waters. Guide your settlers to victory with clever trading, cunning development, and by establishing the most productive sea lanes. Acquire your resources through card play and the luck of the dice. Discover far-off mines and use gold and combinations of resources--grain, wool, ore, brick, and timber -- to develop your ever-expanding empire. Of course, the best strategy and a dash of luck decides who will be the undisputed ruler of the Isles of Catan. You need The Settlers of Catan board game to use this expansion, sold separately.

 Rating:  - Good Expansion, it just takes a while to set up.My friends and I had played Settlers of Catan about 4 times before I bought this expansion. It is really fun and doesn't change the game that much. The ways it does change it are all good in my opinion. There is a new tile added called a gold title. Whenever the gold tile yields a resource you get to pick your choice. They also added boats. Boats work like roads but have to boarder a sea tile on at least one side. They count towards the longest road card as well. Another change that would work in the original game as well is the idea of exploring tiles before you know what they are. So these tiles are left face down and when one of your roads or boats touches a corner of the tile it is flipped and you yield whatever resource it is. The only ...

If you buy the 4th edition of Settlers and Seafarers together, you have nothing to worry about. And I strongly recommend it. Seafarers adds some nice new wrinkles to Settlers while preserving the spirit of the original game. You, your neighbors, and your kids will get hooked! But remember, you have to start with Settlers! Rating: - A Great Expansion to a Great SeriesI found this expansion to be a great addition to the Settlers series. It adds much game play value to the original base game (Settlers of Catan) and it allows for even more creativity in creation of your own game maps. Durability-wise, this expansion is the same as the other settlers games--the board pieces are on nice quality cardboard and the pieces are made of painted wood. The box this expansion comes in is of very high quality as well. Again, this game has lots of little pieces so be aware of that (though they do all come with storage baggies, and everything fits nicely and securely in the box. Make sure that you have the 4th edition of the original expansion set, as this one is incompatible with ...

We were very disappointed to discover that this version does not work with the Catan that we purchased 18 months ago. We contacted the manufacturer several times via email and asked them to remedy the problem, but were told that we had to purchase another product that was not yet available. Thank you Amazon -- they made good on the return since it did not work. Rating: - Watch out for new edition changes!!!!I was very excited to get this expansion since I am a fan of Catan as well as the Cities and Knights expansion. I was hugely confused when I opened this box, not realizing that I had a new edition, and that they drastically redesigned the cardboard tiles. The red brick pieces now look like little hills, and the desert pieces look tan, rather than the darker shades of it's predecessor. The ocean pieces look light blue rather than the dark blue they used to be. This is all very nice for a redesign, but you will need to combine the pieces from the original catan game with these pieces, and if you have the old game, the combination of different looking pieces can get absolutely confusing. I think they still sell the old version of seafarerers. ... Read More: |
