[edit] Five white cities in photo?
I'm not sure, but if I'm seeing things right then in the picture the white player has five cities? I thought the maximum was four, even in Seafarers. If this is indeed wrong, then shouldn't the picture be replaced by another one? --Pelotastalk 13:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm the one who took this photo and added it to the article, so I'll answer your question... There is no single board configuration for Seafarers Of Catan. Instead, the rules include several scenarios that can be played, each with their own board configuration and rule variations. One of the scenarios (scenario 11) is called "Greater Catan". This particular scenario requires the use of two copies of Settlers of Catan, allowing a player to have up to eight cities on the board at a time. (A win in this scenario requires 18 victory points!) The game in progress depicted in this photo happens to be of this scenario. This scenario is just as real and official as any of the other scenarios that can be played, so I don't think there's anything inappropriate about this photo. --Pomakis 00:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
