Seafarers Custom Setup Scenario 2

The Seafarers Custom Setup Scenario 2 is a scenario designed for use with custom Seafarers setups. It is a great scenario for players trying a custom Seafarers setup for the first time, because it is quite simple.

Setup
Choose a custom Seafarers setup from this website or design your own. The first and second settlements can be placed on any island (If there are multiple islands), and a road or a boat can be placed next to them.

Gameplay Changes
When a Gold Hex's number is rolled, you take 1 gold for each Settlement on the Gold Hex, and 2 for each City (If you do not have gold, use Catan Chits as gold). Gold can be used for trading with other players, and 2 gold can be traded into the bank for any resource. Both the pirate and the robber are used, and either one can be moved when a 7 is rolled. Everything else is as stated in the normal Settlers of Catan or Seafarers directions.

Winning
How many victory points you play to should depend on the custom setup you are using, and a good way to determine the number of victory points to play to is to count the number of land hexes in your map.
