Review: Personal favorite out of the Catan options - This is my favorite expansion pack - it gives the larger board for more players with exciting new play options. The best thing is while it adds to the game, it so different that it’s too difficult for newer players to understand quickly - no one wants to spend half the night explaining the difference in rules! The basics are adding ships that cost two resources, add another variation of the robber, and some basic placement rules similar to building/connecting roads. The rule book includes different setups with specific challenges or points that are fun and provide even more variations - for example, one setup has mystery resource tiles to claim once your ships reach that part of the board. If you want to just free play with random setups to get playing quickly that’s also an option. The board pieces themselves are high quality and interlock well. We fit all the important pieces in one Catan box and moved the extra instructions and papers into the other rather than having to open up both boxes for game night. Enjoy!
Review: Great expansion for Catan - Super fun game that adds to the original game. Great gift for those that love Catan. Great design and fairly easy to learn.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Better in the opinion of those experienced, Seafarers or Cities & Knights?**
A: My wife and I always enjoy a good Catan gathering.  We have the whole collection of base games with their 5-6 player extensions and while I highly recommend getting BOTH, here is what we found about Seafarers vs C&K: 

Seafarers is enjoyed most by "right brain" players whose talents are more on the creative side of things.  Not often is your initial strategy followed through by the end game.  Seafarers features some large maps that rewards travel and improvisation; where you place your first settlements isn't as important as how well you branch out and avoid the pirate.  

Cities and Knights is enjoyed most by "left brain" players whose talents are analytical and strategic.  Where you place your first settlement and first city greatly influences the rest of the game.  C&K is played on the smaller standard island and rewards those who plan ahead.  Matches are more confrontational, and a player who changes their strategy mid-game rarely wins.

Both Seafarers and C&K feel "very Catan," so if you like the original you really can't go wrong with either.  I like C&K more, but barely.  However I recommend choosing first Seafarers if you're coming from the original.   Interestingly both rules manuals show how to combine it all together!

As for the 5-6 extensions:  Seafarers is definitely better.  The maps are something to behold :) just be sure to have a lot of table space!  C&K is already a long game, so having 6 people really drew things out to the point where the game wore out it's welcome.

**Q: Do you need the 3/4 player extension to play this 5/6 player extension?**
A: You need the basic catan game,  plus the seafarers "expansion"  which would allow you to play seafarers with 3-4 people,  and then the seafarers 5-6 player "extension" will allow you to play seafarers with 5-6 people.   The simple answer to your question might be "yes", but not sure because of catan's somewhat confusing names for things.  Either way,  seafarers is fun,  and we have often found 5-6 player games more fun than 3-4 player games in the catan world. We like them all though.

**Q: do the tiles fit and look like they can match with the 4th edition tiles?  i know the look of each edition has varied greatly until now.**
A: Peter,Thank you for your inquiry!For these versions there will be slight differences in appearance but for the Seafarer's Settlers gameplay is not affected between the 3rd and 4th editions. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any more questions. Thank you for your time. Have a great day!

**Q: I have the catan 5th edition base game & 5-6 player expansion. look to buy seafares game expansion, do i need 5-6 seafares expansion also?**
A: Only if you want to play with 5 or 6 players.  The Seafarers Expansion supports 3 or 4 players.

Super fun game that adds to the original game. Great gift for those that love Catan. Great design and fairly easy to learn.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a great and fun expansion!
*by B***S on January 11, 2024*

My sister and brother-in-law got me and my partner hooked on the base game, that I decided to gift them this expansion for Christmas. We visited them and it was four straight nights of multiple, competitive, late-hour sessions, with lots of laughs, hisses and glares in between!! After dinner, the table gets cleared, the board is set, and it's every man or woman for himself!! The new rules are not really hard to learn if you have a great understanding of the base game. We have mostly played scenarios 1-4, and scenario 9 a couple of times. Scenarios 5-8 is a bit complicated for everyone's understanding right now, so we haven't played those. Yet! This game is so addictive, that I am buying the base game and this expansion again for ourselves, and I am getting us and them the Game of Thrones version!!
