Gteat extension to original Settlers of Catan. Well designed, easy to learn, fun to play.

Great addition, read the rules before drinking tho as they can be confusing

I own every CATAN expansion and this is by far the best one.
It plays fairly quickly, especially with 2 players. It is way less difficult than Cities and Knights so it is easier to teach people who are already base CATAN savvy.
This is the 4th one of these I have purchased, 2 for me and 2 for gifts. I even custom made pirate flags for a little extra fun.
Andy Verified Buyer –
Regular Catan is probably my favorite board game ever. This extension is also really fun. It is definitely a learning curve as a lot of the game changes. But the core of the game, trading and trying to win, is still there.

Ok so we love Catan! When I saw this was a 2 player expansion I wanted to try it for my husband and I as we are recent empty nesters. When I got the box at home it said 3-4 just like all other Catan games. I decided to keep it since I got it for a Black Friday price. So I will say it is a good thing my son was home from college to help us figure it out and set it up. We could have figured it out but . . . Anyway it suggested you play it at first in increments. It suggest 5 we decided about 3 would have worked. Once you figure out how to add one of the extra things ( fish pirates spices) adding the others is pretty easy. My husband and I do play it with just 2 players and there are so many things going on it does work well. It is a lot to set up so we like to leave it up for a few days . We also vary the ruleS to suit us a little for instance we don’t really use the pirate ship. Anyway my biggest complaint is with so much to set up and having to take pieces from our regular Catan it is pesty. I wish I had a second Catan original game to just keep with this one and if I see Catan on sale again like I did in Black Friday i will buy another one just To keep with this expansion. We have the 5 -6 player expansion and seafarers and it is not an issue mixing pieces but this one has so much to it is a little more cumbersome. It is very different from the original Catan but is is fun especially once you get the hang of it.

Explorers & Pirates add some great elements to keep the game interesting. It does take time to learn it all and it takes longer to play the game but it certainly makes it more interesting. I would recommend it if you are finding the basic game a little ho hum now.

Nice expansion. The scenarios should be played in order and each scenario adds new rules. Makes it easy to remember the last scenario where all the rules apply. This is more like an expansion of ‘Fog Island’ scenario of Catan Seafarers. I have the 4th edition base and this works well with it. The resource hex has different designs but that kind of helps in sorting them while packing up the game. This also has cards that help in sorting the game pieces, i.e. which piece goes in which bag. This considerably reduces the packing up time!
Doug Verified Buyer –
Great game but would be better if it had all the original pieces to be able to play the game. Mine is missing 1 orange harbor and 1 orange settler. So right now only 3 people can play until I can get the 2 missing pieces.

I love the fast delivery and how easy it is to shop on boardgamesweekly.com.com.au.
There is nothing to dislike.

After playing the original Catan game, it was time to upgrade with an expansion. My friends and I tried it, and we had a great time exploring the new features. It’s a highly engaging and competitive game, keeping us thinking through each move. It’s perfect for adults who enjoy strategic gameplay.
