About the Game
You will also need additional markers for seafood and coal commodities and victory point (VP) tokens; you can use CATAN chits from the Seafarers expansion, or alternatively coins. The standard CATAN base game rules apply to this scenario, with a few exceptions.
Rule Changes
- Setup: Instead of building the usual island, spread out the Delmarva map. Place the VP chips (Seafarers chips, or coins as a substitute) on the crossings that show a victory point symbol at the start of the game.
- Settlements: Settlements may only be founded on the round locality fields.
- Roads to a locality: If a player builds a road to a locality field, that player may build the next road behind the locality field only after founding a settlement on that locality field.
- Harbour benefit: To receive a harbour benefit, it is enough to build a road on a red road-building field.
- Victory point chips: The first player to reach a crossing carrying a chip with a road receives that chip and thereby gains one additional victory point.
These few rule changes give the regional scenario its own character.
