What you love about Catan
- Building an economy: Buy low and sell high to grow your capital, then reinvest in your ship — a bigger hold, better sails, more cannons.
- Position and route: Knowing which port produces what and charting your route by the wind, just like picking a good corner in Catan.
- Interaction: Everyone's on the same map; the first captain to deliver a contract claims it, and every purchase you make pushes that port's price up for your rivals.
- No elimination: Nobody drops out early; everyone stays in until the final round.
How it's different from Catan
No physical box, no setup and no long rules explanation — click a link and play within minutes. There are no dice either: your ship moves as far as its speed, cheap downwind and costly against the wind. The wind rose turns one notch each round with a two-round forecast, so your route is a plan, not a roll. Pirates roam the map in the open and drift toward loaded ships — fight, bribe or flee. When the rounds run out the most ★ Prestige wins, and since every captain holds a secret objective, the score stays uncertain until the last round.
Set sail: play Seven Sails for free and become the most legendary captain on the seas!
