Random Events & Treachery

The Random Events and Mercenaries [sic] supplement contains two additions to your Settlers of Catan game. The Random Events Chart will add periodic events that may help or hurt you or other players during the game. The Mercenaries addition allows every soldier to have an identifying role in the game. While one soldier may be a regular soldier, another may be an Infiltrator, Mercenary, Spy, or other options. These supplements will add variety and excitement to your game without altering the integrity or the flow of the game. —description from the rulebook
