CATAN Seafarers 5-6 Player Expansion 6th Edition

Just a heads up for anyone that isn't aware (like I wasn't). In order to play Catan seafarers expansion with 5 or 6 players you'll also need Catan base game, Catan 5-6 player expansion and Seafarers base expansion. Yes, that's 4 boxes altogether including this one. To be fair, this 6th edition artwork and components are excellent but don't make the mistake I did and assume this was the Seafarers and 5-6 player expansion as well. This is just the 5-6 player expansion for the Seafarers base game. Great quality, I can't fault it...

It is a good quality game greatly enjoyed by my grandchildren

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.

A good game to play

Excellent

regular catan not enough? want to add the excitement of the sea?! well youve come to the right place you pastey land lover

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

I've been playing the original Catan for a while now and have been looking at all the various expansions and eventually decided on Seafarers. We found it easy to learn and it's a great first expansion if you're just coming from the main game, and there are several different scenarios to choose from so you don't get through it quickly! Would recommend as a first expansion pack if you're not sure which one to go for!
