I didn't realize when getting this that I needed the 5-6 player expansion, and the cities and knights expansion before I could use it. I thought you could directly expand it on the original, but that can't be done. I have no doubt it will be fun, but keep in mind that you need the 5-6player expansion and the cities and knights expansion before you could use this item.

I loved Catan, and think the Cities and Knights expansion is a lot of fun too. However, it's pretty rare to find 5-6 people who all are experienced enough at Catan to want to play the expansion version, and the time requirement (often more than two hours) can be an issue too. More often we play with a small group of fans and don't need the expansion, or just play the regular Catan with that expansion. But if you've got a group of hard-core Catan fans that are willing to play for hours, this could be great fun.

The amazon description and the "Game tree" that came with the original settlers game says you need only Cities and Knights along with the original settlers game to play this. But this is not true, you also need the original settlers 5-6 player extension to play. The extra hexagonal tiles and the 2 new color player tokens don't come with this(only the new tokens for cities and knights for the new player colors come with this). It comes with more progress cards etc. To play this, you need Settlers + Settlers 5-6 player + Cities and Knights. Like usual, it is fun to play! It seems a little expensive for a few tokens and cards though.
