Ahoy, Catan [$4.99 / HD] for iPod Touch and iPhone owners! Man the poop decks, tow in the anchor, and put on your eye-patch. Catan has just went 2.0 with the "Seafarers Expansion," an in-game download that adds two new Catan variants and 16 new scenarios within a new, sea-themed campaign. The price? $3.99.

That name should sound familiar to board game enthusiasts. To get specific, the Seafarers expansion adds ships, which are basically over-water roads. �Hilariously, pirates � another new concept in this expansion � can steal from these ships. Gold rivers (which give you a mineral of your own choice per�adjacent�city) and extra victory point tiles are also part of the package.

Other than the whole "new content" thing, the coolest part of this expansion is that you can test it out without ponying up the dough � USM has also released a "Lite" version of which includes "The 4 Islands" scenario (of the sixteen) and the two additional game variants.

This delicious game of Catan is brought to us by Deviant Art user Luluriel!

We weren't too crazy about Catan back when it was released, but this kind of support is always awesome � especially for the people who really love the game being targeted for extra content drops. Hopefully, this'll give the Carcassonne [$9.99] team a little bit jumpstart. I am more than eager to get my 'sonne on with some Rivers content or something.
