Customer Reviews
Missing pieces
I purchased this from Amazon for a gift. When open & using we discovered it had missing pieces. Called Amazon they no longer sell The Settlers of Catan 5-6 player Extension. I need to return it & they will refund my money. Not able to purchase it from them again. Very disappointed in Amazon.
Essential for Real Catan Players
My husband and I love playing Catan and now we've gotten many of our friends hooked on it as well. As such, the extension pack is crucial, since we often invite 3 or 4 additional people to play with us.
A must have for any Catan player
Catan is one of the best board games ever made, and probably my favorite game of all time. It simply beats out all others on replay value, fun, strategy, and game length. If you're looking at this item, I don't need to tell you how fun the game is; you already know!
If you're ready to give your four person game a kick in the pants, this is a must buy. It will allow you to play with 5 or 6 players, as well as allowing you to make the larger maps in seafarers (if you own that expansion also). The game play doesn't change much from the 3-4 player to the 5-6 player. The only real difference is a special building faze that takes place once any player has 5 points on the board. This prevent massive card loss later in the game on any 7 roll, which can become a real problem with more players. My family's solution is not to have a special building phase, but to change the maximum number of cards in your hand when a 7 is rolled from 7 to 9. This works a bit better, and maintains more of the feel of the 4 person game.
Another piece of advice: make sure you are buying the same edition as what you currently have! If you try to combine this set with a 3rd generation set, the results are disastrous as the graphics have been changed on both the game board and the cards.
If you enjoy Catan and have the 4th generation 4 player 'starter' set, this is a MUST BUY.
