Before Setup

Choose which version of Catan you will be playing. Not all versions of Catan are recommended. "World Wonders" should work best with the following:

• The Settlers of Catan Basic Game
• The Seafarers of Catan: Heading to New Shores, The Four Islands, Fog Island, and New World scenarios.
• Traders & Barbarians: The Harbormaster, The Fisherman of Catan (please use the Lake-Free variant that I have included), The Rivers of Catan (the Nile is known to flood, so use the Marshlands version of the Great Pyramids I have included)
• Cities & Knights and the other Seafarers or Traders & Barbarian scenarios are theoretically possible, but are not recommended due to their involved natures.
