CATAN Seafarers 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

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

Great way to expand the Catan game without making it too complicated or drawn our (like some of the other expansions). It makes the game a lot more replay-able as you can build a completely different map each time and have more variety. Build quality is great, I read some reviews beforehand which did criticise this but I have no complaints. All the tiles have a little Ship in the corner too which is handy when putting them away as you can quickly identify which ones are from the Seafarers expansion.

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.
