World Wonders (fan expansion for Catan)

Description

--- Catan's "The Island of Catan" expansion is a competitive nation-building game focused on constructing ancient Wonders. Key mechanics include: - *Wonder construction* Nations recreate Wonders of the Ancient World, with only one of each possible and limited by land support. - *Wonder upgrades* Upgrading provides abilities to amass resources or disrupt opponents. - *Resource reliance* Players live solely off the land to build the greatest society. - *Compatibility* Integrates with Settlers of Catan base game, Seafarers, and Traders & Barbarians scenarios. - *Strategic competition* Held during a decade-long festival of culture and trade among great nations. The Island of Catan expansion, developed over two years, transforms gameplay by having nations gather during a festival to compete in building superior societies off the land through recreating limited Wonders of the Ancient World. Players upgrade these Wonders to unlock powerful abilities for resource accumulation or opponent sabotage, compatible with the base Settlers of Catan game and select Seafarers and Traders & Barbarians scenarios, offering a revitalized experience that feels entirely new. ---
