Catan Collector

Setup:
Assemble the 11×7 board shown above. You will need to use some frame pieces and tiles from Explorers & Pirates. The Volcano in the Pacific is laid on top of the frame piece.

Initial Placements: Initial Placements may be anywhere on the map except for the Pacific Volcano (Hawaii).

Bonus Points:
1 VP is awarded whenever a player builds a settlement on a continent that is “foreign” to his initial two placements. For purposes of this rule, there are only 5 “continent areas” as shown below:

1. The Americas
2. Africa (not including the deserts)
3. Eurasia
4. Australia
5. Hawaii

Fishermen of Catan:
Use the rules as laid out in the Traders & Barbarians expansion

Harbormaster Card:

Pirate & Robber:

Volcano tile:
Use the gold-producing variant. Read full rules here

“Round the World” Variant:
If everyone agrees, you can allow traveling off the East end of the map onto the West end, and vice versa. However, this can be a little confusing if you are not careful. Before the game, be sure that everyone understands these are the way the “portals” work. The image below shows the consecutive path of the two ships that cross the globe. Ships attempting to cross will be placed on the frame as shown. For a ship that has “half crossed” the portal, there will only be ONE eligible placement for their next ship if they choose to continue in that direction (normally a player would have two options).
