Catan Die Legende der Seeräuber

scenarios for seafarers

On occasion of the 20 Year Anniversary of the publication of The Settlers of Catan Seafarers, a new edition was published as Catan Seafarers, including the scenarios Die Legende der Seeräuber / Legend of the Sea Robbers for a bonus content. If you only want those scenarios, they are available separately as Catan die Legende der Seeräuber.

The Legend consists of four connected scenarios, or chapters, Die Schiffbrüchigen - Der Überfall - Der Kampf gegen die Seeräuber - Die Gewürzinseln, which tell a story, set about 70 years after the first settlers set foot on Catan. As a tribal leader, you are tasked with missions from the Council of Catan, which you need to complete for the benefit of the community. At the same time, you want to further your own interests by developing the land with new settlements and roads. Completing Council missions gives you Friend cards for a reward, the characters stay with you throughout the chapters and can be used twice per chapter.

At sea, roads turn into shipping lanes and ships, and to build a ship you need the resources wood and wool. A Council mission can ask for building shipping lanes to islands; if you reach a crossroads on an island coast, you can build an outpost for 2 wood and 1 wool, for 1 victory points; the outpost cannot be upgraded to a settlement or town. There are rules for the robber placement, “Friendly Robber”, concerning players with three victory points only. There are varying winning conditions for the chapters and you need varying components-

Catan as we know it and love it; solid rules, interesting new elements and thrilling challenges.
