Catan Traders & Barbarians Expansion

(6th Edition)

Return to the island of Catan with new adventures, strategic twists, and endless replayability in the Traders & Barbarians Expansion (6th Edition).

Unlike the exploration of Seafarers or the depth of Cities & Knights, this expansion is all about variation. Featuring 10 different gameplay modes, including 5 connected campaign scenarios and 5 advanced variants, Traders & Barbarians is Catan’s most content-rich expansion to date.

2. The Rivers of Catan – Wealth follows the rivers; build wisely or fall behind.

3. The Caravan – Nomads seek grain and wool; guide their wagons for reward.

4. Barbarian Attack – Defend the island together with knights to stop raiders.

5. Traders & Barbarians – Deliver glass, marble, and tools across the island, avoiding lingering barbarians.
