It's not only a good setting stone to other expansions, as this is the easiest to grasp, if you desire it's also the best expansion to combine with another, most commonly with Cities & Knights, which in terms of added gameplay it adds the most depth and strategy (and with it complexity making it a bit too much for a family game, so know what you're getting into). All in all, a fresh of breath air if you've grown stale of regular Catan and want more, but not that much more you're overwhelmed, this little thing adds a lot to your games of Catan. Review: Brilliant addition - We have only played the expansion once but it was so much fun. Great for the kind of groups that like to be creative with the game. I would say if you only play the one standard way this is a waste of money. But for those who like to mix it up, this is amazing. Also, makes the game last much longer ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Expansion requires Catan board game to use - Learn in only 15 minutes - Play in only 60 minutes - Capture the adventure of seafaring, exploration and trade - Catan: Seafarers is a three to four player expansion for the high selling Catan board game; share some fun at sea ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00U26V4S4 | | Age Range Description | 10 years + | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 49,516 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 1,083 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand | CATAN | | Brand Name | CATAN | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts, No Warning Applicable | | Colour | Multicolor | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 6,045 Reviews | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | Develop strategic thinking, negotiation skills, and understanding of resource management and systems. | | Estimated Playing Time | 60 Minutes | | Expansion For | CATAN | | Game Mechanics | resource management | | Genre | Boardgames | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00029877030736 | | Included Components | 60 wooden ships, 1 pirate ship, 50 CATAN chips, 10 number markers, 10 port markers, colour rules & scenarios, 6 frame parts, 19 sea witches, 11 unique terrain plates | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 29.5 x 24.1 x 7.6 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W | 29.2L x 7.6W centimetres | | Item Part Number | MFG3073 | | Item Type Name | Catan Seafarers Expansion | | Item Weight | 975 g | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Mayfair Games | | Manufacturer Part Number | CN3073 | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 1332.0 | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 120 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 120.0 | | Model Number | CN3073 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | 4 | | Number of players | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product dimensions | 29.2L x 7.6W centimetres | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | Seafarers | | Size | 3-4 Player Expansion | | Special Features | Seafaring and Exploration Expansion | | Subject Character | Catan Seafarers | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Seafaring | | UPC | 781624739117 029877030736 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** CATAN - **Genre:** Boardgames - **Material:** Paper - **Number of players:** 4 - **Theme:** Seafaring ## Images ![CATAN Seafarers, Board Game EXPANSION, Ages 10+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minutes Minutes Playing Time - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ebLm8zl2L.jpg) ![CATAN Seafarers, Board Game EXPANSION, Ages 10+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minutes Minutes Playing Time - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DG+4AXuSL.jpg) ![CATAN Seafarers, Board Game EXPANSION, Ages 10+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minutes Minutes Playing Time - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wmc5c1niL.jpg) ![CATAN Seafarers, Board Game EXPANSION, Ages 10+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minutes Minutes Playing Time - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kg4Sjhk1L.jpg) ![CATAN Seafarers, Board Game EXPANSION, Ages 10+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minutes Minutes Playing Time - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ttpW5YQ1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Better in the opinion of those experienced, Seafarers or Cities & Knights?** A: My wife and I always enjoy a good Catan gathering. We have the whole collection of base games with their 5-6 player extensions and while I highly recommend getting BOTH, here is what we found about Seafarers vs C&K: Seafarers is enjoyed most by "right brain" players whose talents are more on the creative side of things. Not often is your initial strategy followed through by the end game. Seafarers features some large maps that rewards travel and improvisation; where you place your first settlements isn't as important as how well you branch out and avoid the pirate. Cities and Knights is enjoyed most by "left brain" players whose talents are analytical and strategic. Where you place your first settlement and first city greatly influences the rest of the game. C&K is played on the smaller standard island and rewards those who plan ahead. Matches are more confrontational, and a player who changes their strategy mid-game rarely wins. Both Seafarers and C&K feel "very Catan," so if you like the original you really can't go wrong with either. I like C&K more, but barely. However I recommend choosing first Seafarers if you're coming from the original. Interestingly both rules manuals show how to combine it all together! As for the 5-6 extensions: Seafarers is definitely better. The maps are something to behold :) just be sure to have a lot of table space! C&K is already a long game, so having 6 people really drew things out to the point where the game wore out it's welcome. **Q: Do you need the 3/4 player extension to play this 5/6 player extension?** A: You need the basic catan game, plus the seafarers "expansion" which would allow you to play seafarers with 3-4 people, and then the seafarers 5-6 player "extension" will allow you to play seafarers with 5-6 people. The simple answer to your question might be "yes", but not sure because of catan's somewhat confusing names for things. Either way, seafarers is fun, and we have often found 5-6 player games more fun than 3-4 player games in the catan world. We like them all though. **Q: do the tiles fit and look like they can match with the 4th edition tiles? i know the look of each edition has varied greatly until now.** A: Peter,Thank you for your inquiry!For these versions there will be slight differences in appearance but for the Seafarer's Settlers gameplay is not affected between the 3rd and 4th editions. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any more questions. Thank you for your time. Have a great day! **Q: I have the catan 5th edition base game & 5-6 player expansion. look to buy seafares game expansion, do i need 5-6 seafares expansion also?** A: Only if you want to play with 5 or 6 players. The Seafarers Expansion supports 3 or 4 players. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Lite expansion of Catan *by M***N on 18 January 2018* A great addition to the base game, and while it seems like a small addition and is the lightest expansion in comparison, it does change the game up and makes it more dynamic as well as offering 8 different scenarios to set your board up and 1 where it's completely up to you instead of the small island you're stuck on in the base game, which freshens up the game a lot if you were bored by the recurring theme of regular Catan.

Great for the kind of groups that like to be creative with the game. I would say if you only play the one standard way this is a waste of money. But for those who like to mix it up, this is amazing. Also, makes the game last much longer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great expansion Of Catan *by D***N on 23 August 2018* Great way to expand the Catan game without making it too complicated or drawn our (like some of the other expansions). It makes the game a lot more replay-able as you can build a completely different map each time and have more variety. Build quality is great, I read some reviews beforehand which did criticise this but I have no complaints. All the tiles have a little Ship in the corner too which is handy when putting them away as you can quickly identify which ones are from the Seafarers expansion. ## Frequently Bought Together - CATAN Seafarers Board Game Expansion - Explore, Settle, and Conquer New Isles!
