Identify your Explorers & Pirates set

Last Update: 16 April 2022

Released in 2013, Catan: Explorers & Pirates was the fourth expansion for Catan.

This release included scenarios and missions and also for the first time it introduced significant changes in the gameplay compared to the previous expansions.  Most notable of these was the new movement of ships, the use of settlement ships, the new building of port settlements and the use of gold when no resource are received.

The five scenarios included in Catan: Explorers & Pirates are Land Ho, Pirate Lairs, Fish for Catan, Spices for Catan and Explorers and Pirates.

Colour images below are items from my collection. Any greyscale images are items I am still looking to add.

Please note: Explorers & Pirates was first released in 2013 alongside the fourth edition of the Catan base set. It is not available for the first, second and third editions of Catan.
