- Our take
- Seafarers is the first CATAN expansion I'd buy. It adds islands and ships without making the game much heavier.
- What it adds
- Ships, a pirate, gold fields, new islands to settle and a campaign of nine map setups.
- What it fixes
- Long-time players find the same board stale; adds sea exploration.
- What you need first
- CATAN (base game)
