Resource hexes are five specialized hex tiles that provide resource cards to their adjacent settlements, cities and metropoli. The five resource hexes are: * Forest (produces Lumber) * Pasture (produces Wool) * Field (produces Grain) * Hill (produces Brick) * Mountain (produces Ore) In Catan: Seafarers, Gold Field hexes are considered a resource hex because they allow a player to select which resource they wish to receive. However, in Catan: Explorers & Pirates Gold Fields are not resource hexes as they produce gold coins, which are not considered resources.
