Client Evaluations

The 5-6 player expansion set of "The Settlers of Catan" contains the following items:
1) Additional land and ocean tiles that raise the size of the island of Catan from 19 land tiles in the three-four player game to 30 land tiles [surrounded by water tiles] for the 5-6 player version.
2) A comprehensive set of 30 numbered discs that matches the new, larger island.
three) Alot more cards of each and every sort of resource required to accommodate extra players
four) An addendum set of guidelines for five-6 playes that introduces exciting new choices for creating not included in the three-four player game.
Oh, you almost certainly know this, but you should certainly be conscious that the five-6 player expansion is not a stand-alone game, you require the 3-4 player game in order to use this expansion.
OK, why get the expansion? It, of course, permits up to two even more players to join in. Also, the guidelines addendum consists of an fascinating twist... between-turn bulding. Mainly because five or 6 players suggests longer instances in between an individual's turn, the in between-turn "open making" arrangement makes it possible for players to develop or decide to buy issues with the cards they hold in their hands (no trading with the bank or other players between turns even though!). That not only allows players to get farther ahead when it is not their turn, it also makes it possible for them to use their cards so that they are much less susceptible to "robber's" 7-card in-hand maximum limit if a 7 is rolled. Plus, five-6 players in the game provides far more player-to-player trade alternatives, and so on.
All in all an excellent addition to an outstanding game. It is fun, it is durable, it's interactive, and some say, "addictive."
5 stars all the way!

I had been excited about getting this to let alot more players in our frequent game night...nonetheless what is not listed is that this is produced for the later editions where the water pieces are linked together like a puzzle (not the regular hexagon shaped water pieces). Honestly.. how tough would it have been to crank out a few water pieces to fit the old editions and toss them in the box... boom, all editions are now covered in one shot.
I am sad to say I had to return this hours right after receiving it.
