![]() Assuming you are also in North America, it includes: Since you said you both don't own the game yet, then the first thing you should absolutely get is the 25th Anniversary Edition. If you’re confused about any part of which box is require to play the other, hopefully this infographic will help! On the even more budget friendly side, there are two print & play scenarios: Easter Bunny and #WeStayHome. Each of these are relatively simple like the scenarios from Traders & Barbarians, and they can be good first expansions if you’re not willing to make the financial investment required for the full expansions. Mini-Expansions: Outside of the four main expansions, there are four mini-expansions: Crop Trust, Oil Springs, Helpers, and Frenemies. This is also the easiest expansion to adapt to two players! Unfortunately, it is not the most compatible with other expansions, and will require you to get really creative with rules and board setups. It isn’t the most popular because it feels very different to play in comparison to the base game, but it adds more than just one new way to win. This one has the biggest variety in scenarios, and most of them can be combined with each other, Seafarers, or Cities & Knights.Įxplorers & Pirates: My personal favorite expansion because of how much it adds to the game. Traders & Barbarians: This expansion has a unique spot in the lineup because it is essentially several “mini-expansions” combined into one. Like Seafarers, it can also be easily combined with most other expansions, and it has it’s own campaign scenario: Legend of the Conquerors. It only has a few variants in the rule book, but it is very replayable. It’s very easy to combine with nearly all other expansions, and it even has it’s own campaign scenarios that build off of Seafarer’s mechanics: Legend of the Sea Robbers and Treasures, Dragons, and Adventures.Ĭities & Knights: This is by far the fan favorite Catan expansion because it adds a satisfying amount of complexity to the game while still feeling like a Catan game. ![]() While it’s simple, it is still quite a good value because it comes with 9 different scenarios that can be played with the same pieces. Seafarers: This is probably the best first expansion to get because the things it adds to the game are pretty simple. Below I have my full overview of each to help you make your decision. Want more lore? Go with either of the legends scenarios. Want something more complex? Go with Explorers and Pirates. Want more variety? Go with Traders and Barbarians. Want the most popular one? Go with Cities and Knights. Want a simple expansion? Go with Seafarers. The answer to your question totally depends on what he likes the most. (So if you got seafarers, for example, you would have to get the base game 5-6 player expansion and the seafarers 5-6 player expansion pack) If you’re planning on playing with 5-6 players you’ll have to buy the 5-6 player expansion pack not only for the base game but also for each expansion you get which can make things a lot more expensive. If you’re only ever planning on playing with 3-4 people you can just buy the base game and whatever expansions you want. The most important thing you have to ask yourself before buying expansions is how many people you intend to play with. Cities & knights completely changes the game with tons of new mechanics and cards which is great for experienced players who want to add a little more depth to the game. Seafarers doesn’t add too many extra mechanics to learn so it very much feels like a regular game of Catan just with islands and boats. I think seafarers and cities & knights are great expansions and they can be used together.
