Ultimately it works like the Pirate in Seafarers, where you can steal from an adjacent ship, and cause terror for ships that need to pass by it. There is no robber in this scenario, but instead there is a Pirate Ship. However, it is also easy to forget the more strict order of moves. This also prevents people from moving the Ship, making a play, and then trading.
This is the portion where you use your Ships to explore or deliver goods/Crew. This expansion uses a phase after trading and building called the movement phase. Despite potentially gaining lots of Gold because of missed production, the Gold goes fast pretty quickly.
Also, you can trade 3:1 with the bank for a Gold coin. Likewise, since Gold is in your possession, you can also use it as part of trades for bargaining power, since each Gold coin is like half of any resource. Twice per turn, you may exchange two Gold coins for 1 of any resource. The only major difference is how it is obtained. In fact, it’s actually the exactly the same as far as functionality goes.
Those who have played Traders & Barbarians or Rivers of Catan would be familiar with the Gold concept. The only major loss is being unable to trade a specific resource at a 2:1 rate, but due to the advent of Gold coins and no Cities to produce more, it more than makes up for it. That is because by default, everyone gets a maritime trade with the bank at a 3:1 rate instead of a 4:1 rate. One will quickly notice this set has no Harbors. This Expansion bodes little to no similarity to Cities & Knights, Oil Springs, nor Frenemies of Catan. The fundamentals of the game feel more like a mix of Seafarers with a tiny portion of Traders & Barbarians. The VP, or Victory Points, functionality works as usual as in traditional Settlers of Catan. Harbor Settlement: Wheat + Wheat + Ore + Ore.Settlement: Wood + Brick + Sheep + Wheat.Now that May has come and gone, Settlers of Catan: Explorers & Pirates has come out! Explorers and Pirates introduces several new pieces, alternative routes to victory, as well as apply a new rule mechanic that many people enjoy.
