Note that the Catan Explorers & Pirates Expansion requires the base game of Catan to play. And if you're looking for even more adventure, consider adding the Cities & Knights Expansion to your collection as well.

This expansion introduces the concept of ships, which adds a whole new dimension to the game. You'll need to build and sail ships to explore new islands and discover valuable resources, but be careful of the pirate lairs lurking on the seas! The rulebook comes with a variety of suggested scenarios, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities for exploration.

To build ships, you'll need to collect wool and wood, which makes sheep pastures much more valuable than in the base game. Once you've built your ships, you can use them to settle on new islands, which are worth extra points in some scenarios. There's also a new "wild" terrain that lets you choose any resource when its number is rolled.

But beware the pirate lairs! These dangerous locations can block your ships, steal your resources, and even sink your ships entirely. You'll need to use your wits and your ships' strength to navigate the treacherous waters and outmaneuver the pirates.
