De Kolonisten van Catan: De Diamanten

About this expansion

De Kolonisten van Catan: De Diamanten is a separately sold expansion for Catan for 3–6 players, with an approximate play time of 90 minutes. It was released in 2005 and requires the Catan: Seafarers expansion to play.

The settlers of Catan already have everything they could wish for—until exciting news arrives from a few neighboring islands. Diamonds have been discovered there, and the inhabitants immediately set out to claim as many of these precious stones as possible.

This search for diamonds adds a new source of temptation to the Catan setting. The islands promise valuable finds, but reaching them is only part of the challenge. Pirates are waiting to rob the settlers of their precious stones, turning every expedition into a dangerous undertaking.

• Separately sold expansion for Catan
• Requires Catan: Seafarers
• Designed for 3–6 players
• Approximately 90 minutes of play time

Most settlers do manage to bring some stones back home, despite the threat posed by the pirates. The result is a focused addition to the Catan series built around the discovery of diamonds on neighboring islands and the risk of losing them along the way.

For players who want to extend their Catan experience with a diamond-hunting theme, De Kolonisten van Catan: De Diamanten offers a compact premise: leave home in search of precious stones, then try to return with as many as possible while pirates watch for an opportunity to strike.
