Catan: Scenario - The Helpers is a mini-expansion for Catan that consists of ten character cards, each of which has a different special ability that the player can use once or twice before trading for another. For example, Marianne lets you take any one resource card if you rolled something other than a 7, but didn't get resources from that roll. As each player builds their second settlement, they take a specific card based on player order, with approximate utility increasing to help combat earlier player advantage. A player must use their card's ability before they may turn it in, but may choose which card to take, adding a level of strategy.
