This 5-6 player expansion allows another two players to join the fun. To make any use out of this set, you will need the following: This is a short review for the Settlers of Catan – 5-6 Player Extension set. ![]() I would recommend playing Settlers of Catan with 4 people but if you absolutely have no choice because your group is too large, then play with the expansion but understand that it can really change a simple game quite dramatically. Even if your plan was going the way you want it to, things change more often than you think and it takes a lot longer to get to victory. Typically we would be quite invested and we know what we plan to do but playing it with 6 player wasn’t the case this time. ![]() ![]() I found my group losing interest by the time we got to the 2 hour mark. It just makes the game much harder to play. And it is not just about the length of the game. The fact is that Settlers of Catan players out much better with 4 people. You can almost right away figure out who is going to win and who is going to be screwed based on that.Įven though they added more tiles and more resources and more development cards to the mix and even though they have added the “special building phase” so that the other players don’t have to always wait their turn before they can build stuff, it really doesn’t make the game that much more balanced out. You know the saying where the first move will determine the outcome for the rest of the game, well playing with the 6 player expansion truly solidifies that. With more players, it makes it rough and you can tell that right from the beginning of the game when it is time to pick your first 2 settlements. The original game is supposed to have quite a decent flow of playing. But with 6 people, it not only makes it longer but it is made longer to the point where it really messes with the original games game flow. I’ve played Catan with 4 people before and it was quite fun and the game flowed quite smoothly. So by default, I thought that playing Catan with 6 people would be the same as playing it with 4 people. I bought it because my core group of friends is at least 5 people so therefore I wanted to make sure that we when play it, we can all play together.
