Traders & Barbarians Board Game Expansion (6th Edition) Explore New Adventures, Strategy Game for Kids & Adults, Ages 12+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minute Playtime, Made by Catan Studio

I love the different options with this expansion pack. It is basically four different games in one. My husband and I tried all four of them and we definitely have our favorite and least favorite but we do play them all at different times. We haven't tried any of the other expansion packs yet but I definitely recommend this one because of the many different ways it allows you to play.

Makes the game even more interesting to play.

This expansion is a collection of mini-adjustments. We bought it for the Fisherman and Harbormaster variants, which we had tried and enjoyed at my cousin's house. Fisherman gives players another way to gain resources using the low-probability numbers and Harbormaster gives a 2-victory-point bonus to a player who concentrates on coastline settlements. My wife has shunned the game for several years, but the addition of these tweaks has let her enjoy the game again. The two-player variant is more trouble than we like, so we invented another way to play as a couple. We haven't tried any of the other variants, but I expect we will.

Love this fun game. Our family is Catan addicted!

This expansion suffers from not having a unifying theme. Unlike most expansions, this is a group of expansions dumped into one box with a misnomer name. Traders and Barbarians is only two of the expansions in this box and for me, the lest interesting of the group. The major expansions, for me, are the rivers and fishermen. Rivers introduce gold and rules making basic changes to the game’s strategy. Gold can be horded or used to buy resources. Becoming the richest player is a huge advantage while being the poorest player(s) hurts. Two rivers are included with the additional pieces and rules needed. Fishermen add a lake and costal fishing. Fish can be exchange for a variety of items depending on how many you have and what you want. Again, this adds another level of strategy to the game by giving you more access to resources. This is a large expansion with lots of items that should increase your enjoyment of the game. We normally have 3-4 players and use the 5-6 player map when using this expansion.

Great product. Box was damaged upon delivery but internal contents flawless.

gives multiple scenarios to the classic game

Exactly as described

Game is fine- however, the box is damaged. It is a birthday gift, so a bit disappointing as it has been hotly anticipated.

After paying full price I was sent a SECOND hand, DAMAGED box. Nowhere does it day that it was second hand.
