Thanks for the post. I just bought seafarers and have only tried the first two scenarios so far. Looking forward to trying this scenario after watching your helpful guide!
The only things you didn't mention is that if all players capture their pirate fortress, the Pirate ship is removed from the game, AND. in the 5-6 player version, there is a specific spot where the pirate can border 2 settlements. In this case, there is no pirate attack.
Hi, if one resource is not enough in the deck to take by all the participants after the dice production roll (as per the basic catan rule: no player gets any produced resource on that roll), then does anyone receive or lose a card on that turn who are adjacent to the pirate fleet? Thanks.
That's a very good question, I couldn't find an answer either. Has it happened to you? for me, it hasn't happened. If it did, my assumption would be to still lose the cards, and not gain if not enough resources to go around, but this is my guess and not verified :)
Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding this scenario: 1. If I have only settlements (no cities), I lose only one resource card during a pirate attack. Correct? 2. Is it allowed to build the second and/or the third starting settlements on the coast with a ship attached. The rules for this scenario say you can do it. But later on it’s stated only one shipping route is allowed. And building an additional starting settlement with a ship creates another shipping route. Thank you.
Hi Andrey, sorry for the late reply! Correct, if you have no cities you lose 1 resource. On your second question, I understand your point. There seems to be a way, at least what I see for the red and orange player to build a settlement with a ship that continues the same shipping route. Not sure it would be good to do, because it opens more to a pirate attack. Hope this helps! Enjoy the game :)
@@GamesMadeEasy Thank you for your reply! I got a clarification from the developer earlier and they said that by “the only shipping shipping route” they mean the shipping route to the fortress. Building second and third starting settlements on the coast with ships attached is permitted, though not advisable as ships are needed for attacks on pirates.

Enjoy the games!
Your videos on catan are such high quality. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you've found them useful. Enjoy the game :)
Your welcome. I'm glad you like them.
This is really random, but did your seafarers set come with those large colored chits? I don’t seem to have any of them.
Love your videos by the way!
Thank you so much! I think I may have used them from another game or made them. Enjoy Seafarers :)

You’re absolutely right, thank you. I don’t think we’ve had a game were all players defeat all fortresses - has it happened to you?
@@GamesMadeEasy Haven't played this scenario yet, I just remember this from the rulebook.
