CATAN has detailed a new expansion – CATAN: Soccer Fever – that introduces dexterity play to the popular board game.
CATAN: Soccer Fever adds a new rule in that every time a player builds a settlement or a city, a football match is played. Players must flick the football at the goal and if it lands colour side up, it’s a goal. The most goals win the match, and the team that leads the league at the end of the game gets extra victory points.
Alongside Soccer Fever, CATAN has also detailed a CATAN: Hawai’i scenario that can be used with CATAN Seafarers. This offers landscapes and fishing grounds that players can send fishing fleets to, as well as a host of new abilities.
