Catan Junior lets younger players experience the world of Catan by introducing a simpler playing style. There are no 'settlers' around here. Instead, the players slip into the role of pirates who build their hideouts - called pirates' lairs - all over the islands and set sail to find new places and build more pirates' lairs there. Pirates' lairs are built adjacent to islands, and if the islands' numbers are rolled, the players receive resource tiles. The resource tiles depict gold, goats, wood, molasses, and cutlasses. The die-cut resource tiles included in Catan Junior are very convenient for children because unlike in the Catan game for adults, the players don't have to hold cards in their hands but can place the resource tiles in front of them.
