Yes, it's a bit more complex and I think that's why you have the scenarios to build to the full game. I's different to the original but still a lot of fun.
So in 12:17 red scores in total 2 Victory points and blue and yellow score each 3 points , but yellow also gets an additional point = 4 Points in total due to the pirate scourge card, correct?!
Just one small mistake I want to point out. You CAN build a road pointing toward an undiscovered hex, you just can't discover it (only ships can). You just cannot build roads alongside the undiscovered hex.
Thank you so much for your comment! Sorry for the delay in replying, been swamped trying to get GWT finished. You are absolutely right, I've been making our games harder! Thank you for pointing it out, really appreciate it. I will try to edit it, if not pin a comment.
Hi Sebby19, I've got a question related to this comment. I understand it's possible to build a road toward an undiscovered hex, but can a ship use that same edge between land and sea to travel toward the undiscovered hex in order to discover it? I mean, can a road and a ship "share" the same space? Or once you've built a road on an edge between land and sea, a ship cannot use that space to travel to another point?
Is it possible in first scenario , with predefined map, to build second ship (yellow player can do so with resources and gold) and then in movement phase to discover 2 hexes (one south and one in north land)? I think it is if your very 1st ship (with settlers) would go to south land (1st hex) , then your 2nd would move to the north (1st hex) where first move of 2nd ship would be road where 1st started. Hope this is not too confusing... Looking for advice if I do intepret rules correctly
Hi Love this explanation, I recently played Catan with 4 players & loved the game. I’m looking for 2 player options, Just want to know what are the options to play for 2 players & possibility to expand , can we play with this expansion ?should we also get base game to play this ? What are the other expansions for 2-4 & more players ?
Thank you so much, it's very kind. I believe some Catan expansions can be played at 2 players but I am not very familiar with them (Traders & Barbarians The Fishermen of Catan you have a 2 player variant) as I mostly play it at 3 or more players. For all the Catan expansions you will need the base game. And if you play at 5-6 players you will need the extensions :) The other Catan expansions are Seafarers, Traders & Barbarians, Cities & knights, Explorers & Pirates. Have a look at the Catan website: www.catan.com/catan I hope this helps :)
So, if after defeating the pirates lair if you have one crew member on the hex and an opponent has two crew members on the hex, you could lose your one crew member if you become the hero and the opponent would then keep both of their crew members? Only the hero loses a crew member right, whether they have one or two crew members on the hex?
Wow, great explanation. Only thing I would like to know is from where you got those card sleeves. I have been playing Catan like anything since last year and the cards are in pretty bad shape. Didn't know something like card sleeves exists until I saw your video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! I got the sleeves online. There are the 2 brands I usually buy, Mayday and Gamegenic. Use this website: www.sleeveyourgames.com/ to find the game you want to sleeve for the size. I know exactly what you mean, I sleeve my games now, especially the ones that we use the cards a lot.
PLEASE I NEED HELP! ok so how many times can A ship offload and unload. So in my situation i had two pirate lair hexes next to each other. One was captured with 2 crew left on it. The one next to it was uncaptured. From afar i had a boat with one crew on it. So i moved that boat to the uncaptured lair and OFFLOADED 1 crew. Then i LOADED the 2 crew from the hex next to it. Then i OFFLOADED again to capture the lair with 3 crew. Is this allowed?
Can you do some other expansions like crop trust, rise of inka, rivals of Catan, dice game, and dragons treasures, and any other variation you haven’t looked into 😅
Part 1 the yellow player seems to start off in a disadvantage since the initial settlement is only on 2 hexagons vs 3 like the other players. I don't understand why they would set the board that way.
Hi Danielle, in the E&P rules I have not been able to find what happens when you roll a 2. The only mention is if you don't get a resource you get a gold, with the exception of the 7. Now, in Traders & Barbarians, there is a scenario you don't play with a 2 and they say to re roll. In my house, we have a house rule, we get gold if we don't roll the 2. I hope this helps.
According to the rules, every player would just get a Gold piece (since no one got resources). I believe underneath one of the Pirate Lairs is a 2 Token. And in the 55-6 Player Extension, another 2 is added to the Main Island and the Green Moon side.
@@GamesMadeEasy I have the base game but my expansion was missing all the extra border pieces as well as the sun and moon pieces. When I get a new one with all the pieces I’ll be coming back to your video :)
So I ran into the same thing. We just found out we had bought the explorers and pirates 5-6 player expansion. You need to buy the explorers and pirates expansion. It's very easy to mess that up like we just discovered. If your box says 5-6 player expansion it is the wrong one. Buy the plain expansion and it will come with all the peices.
I love how she waves her hands over objects showing what is not needed
Thank you!!
So clear and perfectly explained, amazing job!
Thank you so much, it’s very kind. Enjoy the game, it’s a lot of fun :)
Very helpful, liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much!
This is quite a step-up from the original complexity wise. Still, as with all games I guess it's a lot easier after the first playthrough.

I’m glad it helped, thank you so much for your comment.
at 5:50 you say you can "you can move one of your existing ships through any hold overboard" what does this mean???
Hi Jesse, basically if all your ships are carrying something, you would get rid off that, and get a new ship. Hope this helps.
Such a great video! Thank you so much❤️
Thank you, glad it was useful. Enjoy the game :)

Hey! If i M discovering an hex and that ship can T move farther, can i use one wool for two more moves for another ship? Thank you!

You're spot on. Only the winner loses a crew. Enjoy the game, I love this expansion!!

Ahhhhhhh help him he's going to hell
Hello, are you allowed to place settlers on the main island, or are they only allowed to be placed on the undiscovered islands?
Hello! Sorry for the delay in replying! Yes you may place settlers on the main island. Enjoy the game!
Can you do some other expansions like crop trust, rise of inka, rivals of Catan, dice game, and dragons treasures, and any other variation you haven’t looked into 😅
Thank you so much for the suggestions! I will definitely do Treasures, Dragons and Adventures.
Part 1 the yellow player seems to start off in a disadvantage since the initial settlement is only on 2 hexagons vs 3 like the other players. I don't understand why they would set the board that way.
But the yellow will collect more gold as it has fewer numbers. Remember if you don't collect a resource, you collect gold.
I just have something to say. I want to play with you and Peter on the table. ❤ thank you.
Aw thank you, that’s very kind :) I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
whats the name of those sleeves?
I use Gamegenic and Mayday for sleeving the games
@@GamesMadeEasy thx! Btw great content, I just suscribed.
Thank you so much, appreciate it :)
ye learned game fast thanks
Very welcome :)
So do you flip hidden tiles when you're one away or actually on them
Once you have a Ship pointing toward one, yes.
But what happens if you role a 2? There are no 2’s on the board so I’m confused
Reroll
Hi Danielle, in the E&P rules I have not been able to find what happens when you roll a 2. The only mention is if you don't get a resource you get a gold, with the exception of the 7.

Where did you laminate your cards?
I bought sleeves for them, I usually get MayDay or Gamegenic
Thanks
Very helpful thank you. Just got this expansion in the mail and it found out it was missing half the pieces :(
Aw no! What was missing? Do you have the base game?
@@GamesMadeEasy I have the base game but my expansion was missing all the extra border pieces as well as the sun and moon pieces. When I get a new one with all the pieces I’ll be coming back to your video :)
I hope you get the game soon, with all the pieces!
