Catan Traders And Barbarians Expansion 2025
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
Traders & Barbarians is distributed as the third major expansion for The Settlers of Catan, although it is actually a collection of smaller expansions and variants. (It is independent of the Seafarers and Cities & Knights expansions, but can be combined with them.)
All of the variants and three of the scenarios have been available from various sources in Europe and the United States or via official websites. The great rivers and fishermen of Catan have been expanded somewhat in this expansion with additional tiles and player tokens.
This collection contains 5 scenarios:
The Fishermen of Catan - Originally published in Spielbox magazine 05/2006 and then published in Games Quarterly magazine. Expanded in this edition.
Rivers of Catan - Originally published in the Atlantis scenario box, later in Games Quarterly magazine as "The Great River". Expanded in this edition to include two rivers, one occupying 4 spaces and one occupying 3.
The Great Caravan - Originally released as a free expansion in Germany.
Barbarian Invasion - New in this edition. - Barbarians are invading Catan, and players must try to stop them with new knight pieces. This works much like the flood mechanic in the Atlantis scenario from the Atlantis and Das Buch scenario packs.
Traders and Barbarians - New in this edition. - You get new witches, one for the castle, one to produce glass, and one to produce marble. You try to rebuild Catan after the invasion. You get gold and victory points if you complete tasks in the castle, but to do so you have to travel back and forth to the castle on roads and undeveloped paths. There are still some barbarians around, disrupting the trade routes.
It also contains 4 smaller variants:
2 Player Rules - Use the new "Commercial Chips" to force trade with your opponent. Use the 3rd and 4th neutral players to block your opponent. Also available online: Klaus2player.pdf
Catan Event Cards - Originally released in the Atlantis scenario box set, but later released separately. Replaces the dice with a deck of cards to minimize randomness.
Harbormaster Card - Originally published in the Atlantis scenario box, later available online: harbormaster.pdf . Gives two victory points to the player with the most harbor points.
