	Description Edit \| History

The Great River of Catan is an expansion for The Settlers of Catan. The expansion consists of a tile with 3 hexes and a river. Everything constructed alongside this river grants a gold point. Each 3 gold points are worth one victory point.
All the other rules are the same as the base game - except you need 2 more victory points to win the game. This expansion was originally only available as an insert in Games Quarterly Magazine.

Belongs to the Catan Series.
