A must have/best base expansion for Catan

Super fun game that adds to the original game. Great gift for those that love Catan. Great design and fairly easy to learn.

Great gameBuy it and play it.

Catan is a winning family game that provides hours of fun. The Seafarers expansion adds even more excitement to the experience. Playing with Seafarers allows players to achieve more, win harder, and creates more complex gameplay. We initially thought the original Catan was the best, but now we realize we couldn't have made a better choice than buying the expansion.

As expected for a board game. Good price. Fun game to play.

We got "settlers of Catan" in June and our family was completely hooked on it, playing a couple of games every week. After it started getting a bit old (although "Settlers of Catan" provide some room for improvisation), we decided on getting the Seafarers expansion. I read the reviews, especially paying attention to the critical ones. I was a bit concerned about two things that people mentioned: 1) the instructions are too complicated and they are difficult to learn; 2) the set is not worth the value, as all you are getting are a couple of new hexes and sets of ships.after having the expansion for two days and having played four games of "Heading to the new shores" for three and four players, I would like to address both of the concerns for the sake of those who love Catan and are looking for something new.1) I can see that the detailed instructions can be overwhelming. However, I would advise baby-steps. Scan the rules regarding the ships, start with the first game - "Heading to the new shores", set up the board according to the provided scheme, and start as you usually start (set up the settlements and get your initial resources). Then, as questions arises, consult the rule book. I am pretty sure the dedicated players will get a hang of it during first 15-20 min. of the game. After that it's very clear.2) it's true that you are getting only a couple of hexes, four sets of ships and tokens. However, when you read the booklet you'll see that there are not one, but ELEVEN new scenarios, some of them have different set up for three or four players. The possibilities are endless! It's like you are getting not one, but eleven different games! So you are paying not for the actual cardboard, but for the intellectual property.We are really looking forward to playing "The Fog Island", where part of the board is not set up, and islands appear as you go. The Forgotten Tribe, the Pirate Island and the Cloth for Catan also sound very promising. I have to say that although our 12 y.o. played with us a couple of times, it's a bit tiring for her. Our older kids are enjoying it as much as we are. Excellent game. Highly recommend.

Easy to learn, similar to Builders and Settlers with a few changes. We’ve only played one of the setups Seafarers list in the manual. Basically it makes for a bigger board once set up and we’re not all crowded on top of each other as sometimes happens with the base game. We go back and forth between the two. Note: You need to purchase Builders and Settlers to go with Seafarers. Seafarers is an expansion game and can’t be played without Builders and Settlers.
