It’s been nearly 70-years since the original settlers arrived on the island of Catan. Since that fateful day, the different clans have tamed the land by building roads, constructing mines, and founding new settlements. As years passed, each generation has contributed to the rich history of this island and the population has grown and flourished. The easily accessible areas of Catan have been settled, but in order to continue to prosper new lands must be found. As the leader of your clan, you have been tasked by the Council of Catan to strike out and explore the nearby regions for new resources and suitable locations to settle. You will still be responsible for managing your clan’s needs as well as expanding your settlements and maintaining your roads during this time, but new goals and demands will also be placed upon you. Only the player who is able to balance these tasks will be recorded in the Legend of the Sea Robbers. ~ Adventure Awaits ~ In Legend of the Sea Robbers, players will take part in four historic chapters of the Catan legacy. At 60-90 minutes per scenario, this four-part campaign will allow your game group to experience an unfolding story arc over multiple game sessions. Take care that, while you work towards victory in each scenario, you also listen to the decrees of the Council of Catan. Each scenario will be altered based on how closely the players achieve the previous chapter’s special goals. In addition to the campaign narrative, Legend of the Sea Robbers brings in a number of changes to the traditional gameplay of Catan. From two players being able to share the same sea route, to special trade and robber rules, players will discover new opportunities as they play. As you experience each scenario in the Legend of the Sea Robbers campaign, you’ll find more tools at your disposal. Friend cards provide benefits during play, much like previous Helpers of Catan cards. You’ll gain access to special units or compete to claim chest tokens. Each scenario will offer additional options such as outposts that, like a settlement, will allow you to expand your influence to newly discovered lands. After you complete each chapter in the campaign, you and the other players will record your results in the Chronicle, altering the next scenario. ~ A Call for Aid ~ Legend of the Sea Robbers offers your game table an exciting new way to play Catan that’s still accessible to the newest of settlers. Castaways have been sighted on a nearby island and the Council of Catan is calling for heroes to come to their rescue. Will you answer the call and write your name into the history books? Note: Legend of the Sea Robbers requires both the Catan core game and the Catan: Seafarers expansion to play. |
