Description
Catan Seafarers – 5-6 Player Expansion (Slovenian title: Catan Pomorci – Razširitev za 5-6 igralcev) expands Catan: Seafarers for a fifth and sixth player. With your ships you build sea routes, discover islands with gold fields and compete for the longest road – now on a bigger sea and against more rivals.
How to play
The rules are the same as in Seafarers, and you assemble the island as in the 5-6 player expansion. During the active player's turn, another player may also build, but may not trade with the other players, so the wait for your turn is not too long. Ships count towards the longest road, but you may not place them next to the pirate.
To play, you need the base game Catan, Catan – 5-6 Player Expansion and Catan: Seafarers.
Why you will like it
- You can play the Seafarers scenarios with five or six players.
- Because another player also builds during the first player's turn, the game does not drag.
- More sea means more islands and more competition for the best spots.
- More players bring more trading for resources.
Who is this expansion for
It is played by five or six players aged 10 and up, and a game lasts around 120 minutes. The game is medium-light, and players like it best with five. It suits groups who already know Seafarers.
What you might not like
A game with a larger group is long, and the dice decide which resources you get. It may not be the best fit for those who prefer shorter games with less luck.
