Seafarers of Catan Expansion Accessories

Seafarers 5-6 Player 1E-3E Board Layout Seafarers-5-6 Player 4E Board Layout Expansion Accessory Board B1 Hex

When you look at the Seafarers board layout compared to the standard Settlers board, the Seafarers board is much bigger. The board shape also changed between the first to third editions of Seafarers compared to the fourth edition.

The top image to the right is the first to third edition (1E-3E) Seafarers board layout. Note that the right and left ends are square. This makes it difficult to expand the base board to have square ends. Though my A and B expanders you can fit all the 1E-3E scenarios on my board. Check out my Hex Board Style 1 Layout Options to see how my board will expand to fit any scenario.

The second image is the fourth edition (4E) Seafarers board layout. Notice how the right and left ends are not square, they are hex shaped. My Settlers board is split into 4 pieces for storage and transport. It expands along one of the joints to add the Settlers 5-6 player expansion pieces. If you expand it along the other joint, it is the same basic shape as the Seafarers 4E board.

The third image shows my Hex Board Style 1 with a single hex B Expansion Board (B1). The Hex Board Style 1 expands by one, two, three, four or more hexes. This is accomplished with single hex expander and double hex expanders. My Hex Board Style 1 has two hexes at the fare left and right that are not used in the Seafarers board.

I have designed a full set of expanders to the baseboard. My design is very modular and can grow to fit just about any scenario you can come up with. Check out my Hex Board Style 1 Layout Options to see how my board will expand to fit any scenario.

For details and pricing please visit my Hex Game Board page.

If you do not have Seafarers 4E, you can download a PDF of the 4E instructions from the Mayfair web site. It has all the scenarios designed for the new board shape.
