Description
--- "Diamanten voor Catan" is an expansion for CATAN requiring Seafarers, where insatiable settlers chase diamonds on islands while evading pirate thieves. Key mechanics include: - *Expansion dependency* Requires CATAN base game and Seafarers expansion for play. - *Resource exploration* Settlers venture to neighboring islands to seize diamonds. - *Pirate interference* Pirates rob settlers of their precious stones during transit. - *Greedy competition* Inhabitants rush competitively to acquire as many diamonds as possible. - *Thematic integration* Embeds within the Catan Series narrative of dissatisfaction and expansion. "Diamanten voor Catan" (Diamonds for Catan) is a separately sold expansion specifically for CATAN, mandating the CATAN: Seafarers expansion to play. Thematically, it portrays the settlers of Catan as perpetually unsatisfied despite their prosperity; upon hearing of diamonds discovered on neighboring islands, the greedy inhabitants hastily depart to claim as much as possible. Pirates lie in wait to plunder their gemstones, though most settlers ultimately succeed in transporting some diamonds back home. This expansion belongs to the broader Catan Series. ---
