Massive thanks for this incredibly useful video! I've just picked up this expansion to play with the family and we are a bit overwhelmed with the introduction of so many new mechanics. My family love this game and we can't wait to try all of the features in this expansion! Keep it up!
You're very welcome. It's a great expansion, there are some really fun scenarios, but I agree, completely different. For the last 2 scenarios I made separate videos, check them out, they are fun to play. Enjoy the game!
I love your channel, you really make the board games easy to understand! Me and my fiancé adore Catan, we got the Cities and Knights expansion for Christmas and are now looking into buying the Seafarers as well. Could you do a video on how to combine both expansions? It would be much appreciated 😍
Could you help me? If i want to play with fisherman of catan accessory on this map , where should i put the lake? Replace the swamp ? Sorry i only speak a very little english , i hope u understand my question , i thank u so much❤
What I do is I don't use the lake and instead just use the edge pieces for fish you don't really get to use fish as much because you have to build towards harbours but it still works
Hi Hector, I have not combined Traders and Barbarians with C&K or Seafarers. I would imagine some of the variants available in Traders would combine well but can't be certain till we try :) Sorry I can't help more.
Hi Love this explanation, I recently played Catan with 4 players & loved the game. I’m looking for 2 player options, Just want to know what are the options to play for 2 players & possibility to expand , can we play with this barbarian expansion ?should we also get base game to play this ? What are the other expansions for 2-4 & more players ?
No matter what expansion you’ll always need the base game ! As far as 2 players or 2-4. Most all Catan games are 3-4 players. This one can be played 2 player and you can always look up cool ways to customize and play the other expansions 2 player as well!
Done some reasearch As I understand the rules: A) You can trade 4 of one kind resource for 1 gold. (With no Harbors available to the active player.) B) Or 3 Resources for 1 gold (3-1 harbors) C) 2 resources for 1 gold with the specific harbor with the two resources required by that harbor. D) You can trade 2 gold for 1 resource up to twice per turn. (No harbor necessary.)
@@GamesMadeEasy 3 cards for 1 coin is actually worse in my opinion. I originally assumed that the Harbors never gives coins in return because two coins for a card will always be better and 3 cards for 1 card is Standard supply trade when no coins are available. Now as for trading cards for coin I assume you give up a resource for two coins, but this would break the game so that is why resource for coin isn’t a thing. Because a player on their turn would discard a card get two coins then on the next turn get the card they want. Kinda broken. but giving up knight for coins is for a 3 cards for knight use knight then sell Knight for 2 coins after a turn has passed when the knight was use grants you back one resource for the two coins. Idk I’m just putting what I know Can you do Crop Trust, legend of the sea robbers, Legend of the conquerors, and Dragons, Treasures, and adventures because to be honest your the best out of all UA-camrs about explaining gameplay.

@@GamesMadeEasy Would it be possible to play with almost everything in this expansion or no?

I second this :D
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear. Yes, it's definitely in the plan to do a video combining a few expansions - should be a lot of fun :)
@@GamesMadeEasy perfect 😍
Thank you so much for this video!! I love your YT channel
You're very welcome, I'm so happy you enjoy them. Thanks!
I absolutely adore your voice! It’s very soothing! Which Catan expansion do you recommend? I absolutely adore playing this game with my family!
Thank you so much! It’s so hard because I love a lot of them. But if I have to choose, I think it would be Seafarers.

Thanks so much for your videos! Do you think you will be covering the Catan Crop Trust scenerio?
It's my pleasure. Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely look into it.
@@GamesMadeEasy Thank You so much
@@sam003pa You're welcome. Enjoy the game!
How well does this expansion play when mixed with C&K and seafarers expansion? 👀
Hi Hector, I have not combined Traders and Barbarians with C&K or Seafarers. I would imagine some of the variants available in Traders would combine well but can't be certain till we try :) Sorry I can't help more.
Thank you so much for your videos. Do you think you will do a video for Catan pirates and explorers?
Thank you for your comment. I have been trying to get a copy of Pirates and Explorers. As soon as I get it, I'll do it.

Theres a game called rivals of catan which is two players
Yooo cat in the box 💖
It always happens
Yes! As soon as we put the box out, cat is in :)
9:40 You stated that you can spend two coins for one resource and then you immediately show you pay three coins to the harbor for the single card lol

As I understand the rules:
A) You can trade 4 of one kind resource for 1 gold. (With no Harbors available to the active player.)
B) Or 3 Resources for 1 gold (3-1 harbors)

Hi Dovon, I think you are right, I believe you can trade 3 cards for 1 gold. Well spotted, thank you, I will edit the video.
