CATAN: Explorers & Pirates*

Catan: Explorers & Pirates is the fourth major expansion for the game, featuring five scenarios and three missions, with some scenarios utilizing missions while others do not. Players explore three islands, starting on one known island, then building ships and settlers to discover new lands. Instead of cities, players can construct harbor settlements that provide resources, and when lacking resources during production, they receive gold as compensation, which can be exchanged for resources or used to escape pirates.
