Cloth for Catan

What you need

CATAN plus Seafarers, the frame, large-island and four-small-island hexes, number discs, ports, eight village discs, 40 village cloth tokens, 10 general cloth tokens, pirate and robber, and player pieces.

• Players: 3 or 4.
• Required games: CATAN + Seafarers.
• Generator mode: randomized / variable board.
• 3 players: the shared 24-land + 18-sea board, 20 productive discs plus 8 village discs, 9 active harbors, and the 40-village / 10-general cloth supplies; place 3 starting settlements per player.
• 4 players: the same board, village discs, harbors, and separate cloth supplies; add the fourth player’s pieces.

Before you generate

The generator keeps the four small islands, village discs, and village cloth placements in place while randomizing the published large-island pools. Keep 40 cloth tokens beside villages and 10 in the general supply.

Set up the table

1. Use Configure this setup above. It opens the 4-player variable selection by default; choose 3 players when needed, then generate.
2. Place the fixed small islands, village number discs, five cloth tokens beside each village, and the 10-token general supply before placing the generated large islands.
3. Place the generated land, discs, harbor types, robber, pirate, and player pieces from the print setup sheet. Return the Longest Route tile to the box for this scenario.
4. Place three starting settlements per player using the scenario page; use its rulebook for village and cloth play.

Scenario notes

A Seafarers board with villages, cloth tokens, and a separate cloth supply ready for setup.

• Village discs mark the board, and village cloth stays beside its village. The eight village discs and the 40/10 cloth supplies are separate from ordinary land and number discs.
