Description
The base game is for up to four players, but everyone wants to build stained-glass windows. Sagrada 5-6 Player Expansion brings everything a fifth and sixth player need to Sagrada. It also adds a new way to play in which each player has some dice all to themselves.
How to play Sagrada 5-6 Player Expansion
With the standard rules nothing changes except that there are more dice. Put 22 dice of each color in the bag for five players and all 26 for six. Each round you roll two dice per player plus one, so 11 or 13.
The other option is the Private Dice Pool rules, which work for 2 to 6 players. At the start, each player rolls two dice of each color and places them on their own board. Each round, a player has just one turn. In it they may place a die from their private pool, place a die from the shared Draft Pool and use one tool, in any order. That's why the Draft Pool has only one die per player plus one.
Why you'll like it
- With a private pool you see ten of your dice from the start and can plan your window ahead.
- Each player takes only one turn per round, so even with six players you don't wait long.
- The six new private objectives ignore colors: you add up the values of the dice on the marked spaces of your window.
- The new window patterns and private objectives are shuffled in with the base ones, so they're useful with fewer players too.
Who is Sagrada 5-6 Player Expansion for?
You need this expansion if you want to play Sagrada with five or six players. It is for players aged 14 and up, and a game takes 20 to 40 minutes. It's medium-light in difficulty, as the base game rules stay almost unchanged. It's not a standalone game: you can't play it without the Sagrada base game.
The cards have a little English text, and the rules are in English.
What might you not like?
The expansion mainly adds room for a fifth and sixth player and hardly any new rules. If you're after new objectives and dice, the Sagrada Passion and Sagrada Glory expansions will suit you better.
