OverviewNote: These instructions are for the 4-player variant. There is no 3-player variant for this scenario. Instructions for a 6-player variant are here.Greater Catan is an enormous undertaking. To play requires 2 full copies of Settlers of Catan and one copy of Seafarers. The game is to 18 points, and there are no special Victory Points available. Each player receives one normal set of pieces plus the 4 cities of the same color from the second set. (Remember to return these to the other set at the end of the game!)This scenario typically requires about 2.5 hours to play in real life, including setup times. You can combine the scenario with the Cities & Knights expansion, which is extremely interesting, but will easily add another half hour to the time to play. Although there is no official ruling to this extent, you may wish to increase the number of Victory Points required with Cities & Knights (20 works well).The basic idea behind the scenario is that the resources on the mainland are being depleted, and the settlers must now venture out into the surrounding areas of Greater Catan to continue their production.
Setup
Assemble the Seafarer's frame, using two "large X" extensions on the two horizontal sides.Take the land tiles from one set, shuffle them, and layout a "main island" as you would in a normal game, including placing the number chits.Lay water around the island and then place the Seafarer's harbors (4x 3:1, 1 ea. 2:1) around the main island (see map for placement).From the other normal Settlers set, take the land tiles without the desert and shuffle them. Lay these out according to the map. These tiles do not start with numbers on them.Either from the second set or from the seafarer's box, take out the following number chits: 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11. Set these aside face-down and shuffle, or use an opaque bag: they'll need to be drawn at random later.
Rules
Each player must place both initial settlements (or settlement and city, if playing with Tournament rules or Cities & Knights) on the main island. Players may build ships instead of roads if they build at coastal locations.When a player builds a road or a ship along side (not just up to) a tile on the small islands that does not yet have a number on it, he or she draws a chit at random from thos
