If you feel that you’ve sufficiently conquered the terrain of Catan and are itching for more exploration, never fear. The makers of Settlers of Catan have created various expansions to satisfy your need for adventure. The principle expansions are listed below. All are for 3-4 players with a possible expansion for up to 6 players.

Seafarers of Catan (Catan: Seafarers)

Seafarers extends the building area to the sea. Players are able to build shipping routes in addition to their roads on land. The robber from the original Settlers remains and an added pirate roams the sea. One major difference between Settlers and Seafarers is the introduction of scenarios. In Settlers the placement of tiles and play is random. Seafarers, on the other hand, includes scenarios that determine the board layout, number of victory points needed, and other factors.

Cities and Knights (Catan: Cities and Knights)

Cities and Knights changes the Settlers game even further. Not only do the building options for settlements increase, but players also build and maintain armies. Another major change is the introduction of commodities: special resources needed in improving cities and providing armies.  New components affecting game play include barbarians that attack the island and a merchant that improves trading.

Traders and Barbarians

  is in essence a collection of scenarios and special rules that can be combined to change game play. It is named for its flagship scenario which introduces the use of wagons to trade between settlements and barbarians who seek to disrupt trade.
