CATAN – The Helpers – New Friends on the Island 🏝️🤝

Meet your new friends on the island of Catan. CATAN – The Helpers is a scenario for CATAN and CATAN – Seafarers, for players aged 12 and up, in about 45 to 90 minutes.

Twelve helpful new characters are eager to lend a hand. Thorolf, Asla and the other Catanians share their specialised skills and expertise to help you develop your fledgling settlements into thriving cities. For example, Stina makes it easier for you to trade cards, Högni allows you to move a road, and Digur sends the robber back to the desert. Each helper is a double-sided tile with a sun side and a moon side. You start the game with a helper, use its advantage at the right moment, and afterwards exchange it for another helper from the display or flip it to its moon side. Because only some of the helpers are used in each game, every game brings a different mix. The scenario adds even more variety and excitement to CATAN without making it more complex. You need the CATAN base game or CATAN – Seafarers, and for 5–6 players, the matching extension.
