The first part of the games takes awhile to set up and is quite boring. Then once the game gets going and you are able to start working towards getting the 10 victory points needed, it can be quite enjoyable!
More Players, More Fun:
The extension allows you to expand your gaming group from the standard 3-4 players to up to 6 players.
Playing with more friends or family members adds an extra layer of excitement and competition.
Taming Uncharted Lands:
In this expansion, you control a group of settlers exploring and taming the uncharted lands of Catan.
The rich island becomes even more competitive as you vie for resources and strategic locations.
Additional Components:
The extension includes green and brown settlers, 2 more harbors, and 11 unique terrain tiles.
You’ll have more options for building roads, settlements, and cities.
Not a Standalone Game:
Important: This is not a complete game by itself. You need the base game (Catan) to play with this extension.
The extension seamlessly integrates with the main game, enhancing the experience.
Benefits of Purchasing:
Flexibility: With the extension, you can adapt your game nights to accommodate larger groups without sacrificing ease of play.
Variety: The additional terrain tiles and components create fresh setups, ensuring that no two games are alike.
Social Interaction: More players mean more trading, cunning development, and unexpected twists—perfect for a lively game night.
In summary, the Catan 5-6 Player Extension enriches the Catan experience, making it a fantastic investment for anyone who loves settling new lands, trading resources, and outwitting opponents. 🌄🌿🌊
For those who already own the base game, this extension is a no-brainer. Happy settling! 🏡🌟
As for the game itself, Catan offers a great balance between strategy and competitive gameplay. While luck is almost always a factor in boardgames and Catan is not the exception (dice rolling involved), the game feels more guided and affected by your strategy and decisions rather than by luck, which is good, since this makes the game more compelling and adds weight to the decisions that you make throughout the game. There is also a trading component that allows you to interact with the other players, which is great for stirring some fun arguments and debates. While this game has a competitive approach, it doesn't pit the players against each others through direct confrontation (which is welcomed if you are not looking for an aggressive game where everyone ends up mad at each other), it plays more like a race in which you need to focus on your strategy while keeping watch of the opponents and overall it is extremely fun. It has simple enough mechanics for beginners, but they are also very compelling for more experienced players, specially when you start to play with the randomized board map. It is not a surprise that this is still regarded as a classic game even though it came out a long time ago.
The materials and details of the cards, boards and pieces are excellent. It is worth mentioning that one of the "settlement" wood pieces was chipped when we opened the box. While this didn't affect the use or gameplay experience and understanding that there are errors expected in manufacturing processes, we still decided to send a note to the customer service address provided by the game developers (not through Amazon) and they responded very quickly and efficiently, and within a week or so we received a replacement piece on the mail, so extra points to the customer service.
Even if you are not looking to get deep into the board game community, Catan is a must if you enjoy playing games with friends or family. And even if you plan to further try more games, most likely you will always be glad to revisit this wonderful game.
Top reviews from other countries
One of the standout features of Catan is its simplicity in rules, making it accessible for both casual players and seasoned board game enthusiasts. The modular board setup ensures that each game is a fresh experience, as players strategically place settlements and roads on the ever-changing landscape of hexagonal tiles.
The strategic depth of Catan is truly impressive. Balancing expansion, resource acquisition, and the ever-present threat of the robber forces players to think critically and adapt their strategies based on the evolving dynamics of the game. The race for the Longest Road and Largest Army bonuses adds an extra layer of competition, keeping players on the edge of their seats until the very end.
In conclusion, Catan is a board game masterpiece that has rightfully earned its status as a classic. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or a casual gamer, the ever-changing landscapes, dynamic player interactions, and strategic depth of Catan make it a must-have for any board game collection. Prepare for countless hours of enjoyment as you embark on the journey to settle the island of Catan.
