Gold Rivers
Seafarers also introduces the "Gold River" terrain, which grants nearby players one resource of their choice for every settlement adjacent to a gold tile and 2 resources for every city. Since being able to choose any resource type allows more building power, gold rivers are either marked with number token of only 2 or 3 dots and/or are far away from starting positions to offset this.
When combined with Cities and Knights, the rules state that you are not allowed to take commodities instead of resources if a city is nearby.

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or rivers:
“John Brown of Ossawattamie
Who died to set Abstraction free
Stole Washington’s gold-handled sword
Less for the gold than for the Lord....”

“No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:—
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.”
—Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
