About the game

Catan Junior is, as you might expect, a junior edition of The Settlers of Catan, and while the game play remains mostly the same - with players collecting and trading resources in order to build things, gain more resources and score points - the setting is new.

Instead of being settlers, the players are now pirates, with pirate warehouses located on islands in the waters around Catan and ships sailing in those waters. Pirate warehouses are equivalent to settlements in Catan, and the player receive resources from these warehouses whenever a die roll matches the number showing on that island. These resources take the form of equipment cards, and the resources are wood, wool, rum, sabres and gold. With these, players construct ships and more pirate warehouses or buy development cards. Instead of a robber, players must now beware of a Ghost Pirate, who can block the resources normally provided by a warehouse.
