Description
Catan - 5-6 Player Expansion (the Slovenian edition of Catan: 5-6 Player Expansion) is an expansion for Catan that lets you play with five or six people. The island is bigger, the demand for resources is higher and trading is even livelier.
How to play
The rules are the same as in the Catan base game. You build the island by inserting four smaller frame pieces from the expansion between the frame pieces of the base game. To keep the wait between turns short, after the active player's turn one more player builds as well, the third player to their left, who may not trade with the other players. The first player to collect 10 victory points wins.
You also need this expansion to play the 5-6 player expansions for Seafarers and for Explorers and Pirates.
Why you will like it
- You can play Catan with the whole family or a larger group of friends.
- More players means more trading and more negotiation.
- Because one more player builds after every turn, the game does not drag on.
- The extra hexes and number tokens give the island new setup options.
Who is this expansion for
It plays with five or six players aged 10 and up. The game is moderately easy, and players like it best with five. It suits everyone who already owns Catan and wants to play it with a larger group.
What you might not like
A game with a larger group takes longer, and the dice decide which resources you get. It may not be the best fit for those who prefer shorter games with less luck.
What's in the box

- number tokens, 25 resource cards and 9 development cards
