Catan Seafarers 5-6 Player Expansion Old Version

There are 6 in our family, so 2 always had to "team up" which never goes down well, so I can't wait to play this with the main Catan game. Both boxes were delivered in perfect condition.

We have only played the expansion once but it was so much fun. Great for the kind of groups that like to be creative with the game. I would say if you only play the one standard way this is a waste of money. But for those who like to mix it up, this is amazing. Also, makes the game last much longer

Catan is better with +5 or 6 players

Bought this expansion as its widely considered the best expansion for the catan games. However, my main gripe is the change of style of pieces. I have an older edition of the base game and now none of my pieces match as I would like, Its still playable but it does annoy me (perhaps unjustly).Secondly, this is just the expansion to the base game and adds no players, you need to fork out another £40 for the seafarers added player expansion. If it didnt end up coming out of my bank account I'd think the practice was very clever.

A great addition to the base game, and while it seems like a small addition and is the lightest expansion in comparison, it does change the game up and makes it more dynamic as well as offering 8 different scenarios to set your board up and 1 where it's completely up to you instead of the small island you're stuck on in the base game, which freshens up the game a lot if you were bored by the recurring theme of regular Catan.It's not only a good setting stone to other expansions, as this is the easiest to grasp, if you desire it's also the best expansion to combine with another, most commonly with Cities & Knights, which in terms of added gameplay it adds the most depth and strategy (and with it complexity making it a bit too much for a family game, so know what you're getting into).All in all, a fresh of breath air if you've grown stale of regular Catan and want more, but not that much more you're overwhelmed, this little thing adds a lot to your games of Catan.

Fantastic edition to the catan game. A bit misleading when you buy the expansion kit because you need the extension kit also.

We love the addition of creating your own islands and how it forms as you play keeps it more tense and interesting as the game goes on.

Love the game. The gallery version was a present 5 years ago and immediately bought the basic and seafarers versions. Now worn out the board and cards. Needed a new set and this current release is superb. I was brought up on board and card games and this is now the only board game I play. Best with four people but 3-6 is possible (5 or 6 needs extension sets). Seems a little expensive for a board game but well worth it. If you have never played it before buy the basic set first. Add the seafarers extension when you feel you need a bit more excitement and you will not be disappointed.
