999 Games Catan - Merchants and Barbarians Board Game Expansion

The third major expansion of Catan. Merchants & Barbarians contains 4 variants of Catan and 5 new challenging scenarios, which can be combined to a greater or lesser extent with each other and with The Seafarers and Cities and Knights. For example, we find a harbor master, who rewards players with points for settlements at harbor locations. Or a friendly highwayman who, à la Robin Hood, only robs the rich. For those who are a little less lucky, there is the variant 'Events on Catan', in which the dice are replaced by a balanced pack of cards. At the request of players all over the world, there is also a variant in which you can play the basic game with two players. However, the largest part of the manual consists of the description of five completely new scenarios, which are sorted by level of difficulty. From the simple 'Fishermen of Catan', via 'The Trek' to the final scenario 'Merchants & Barbarians', which is no less difficult in terms of level than the challenging 'Cities & Knights'. Merchants & Barbarians offers a collection of new elements to make Catan a completely new gaming experience. This current edition has plastic playing figures, land tiles made of sturdier material, a new inlay and handy boxes to store the playing figures in.
