Description
--- <TLDR> Catan: Seafarers Playmat (61x61cm) features multi-island layout with missing resources, special shipbuilding rules, and multilingual instructions. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Multi-island division* Catan split across islands, some lacking pastures, others forests, requiring adaptive strategies for shipbuilding. - *Special rules* Addresses resource shortages to enable ship production despite missing terrain types. - *Multilingual support* Includes rules in Dutch, English, and German for accessibility. - *Playmat specifications* Sized 61cm x 61cm (42" x 42") for standard gameplay setup. This playmat enhances Catan: Seafarers with a specialized board design dividing the island of Catan into multiple islands, where certain terrains are absent—pastures on some, forests on others—posing challenges to ship construction that are resolved through accompanying special rules. Provided in three languages (Dutch, English, German), the 61cm x 61cm (42" x 42") mat integrates these unique rules to facilitate resource management and expansion across fragmented landscapes, ensuring players can adapt to the varied island compositions for shipbuilding and seafaring objectives. ---
