GAME RULES Except as noted below, the Extension Set uses the same rules found in The Settlers of Catan® boardgame (aka “Settlers”). The additional rules include: • Constructing the larger board • The Special Building Phase Assembling the Board At the beginning of each game, you will need to construct the board. This Extension uses a board very similar to the one used in Settlers.

Construct the island from 30 land hexes by following these steps: 1. Shuffle all of the land hexes face down. Place the hexes face down as shown in the illustration. 2. Turn over the center row of six hexes first, without changing their order. Then uncover the rows of five hexes to the right and left of the center row. Next, uncover the rows of four on either side of those. Lastly, turn over the rows of three hexes. 3.

Note that no player is allowed to play Development Cards during the Special Building Phase. Also note that players are not allowed to do any trading with other players—nor are they allowed to use Maritime Trade—during this phase. They may only use the resources they have in their hands. For this reason, players are advised to trade as much, and as advantageously, as possible with the current player during his trading phase.
