About the game
A stand alone version of Catan. In this version you play on the map of The Netherlands and Flanders. It's like the Die Siedler von Catan - Deutschland Edition, although there are some differences. The game can be played with 3-5 players. Players choose their colors from the two flags (black, yellow, red, white, blue). Player parts are wooden, not plastic. Also the (uniform) monument markers are made out of wood. With five players there also is a special building phase. The cities near the sea produce fish chips as well, as with The Fishermen of Catan. The Game was released on September 9th 2009 by the publisher 999 Games. "9-9-9" get it?!.
