Catan - Cities & Knights 5-6 Player Extension
Now you can share the most intense Catan experience with even more friends! The Cities & Knights 5-6 Player Extension allows you to expand the struggle for Catan to a larger group. Defend the island from barbarians, build magnificent metropolises, and compete for resources in a more crowded and exciting archipelago.
Why play this game
- Allows up to six players to experience the deep strategy of Cities & Knights together.
- Includes additional knights, city walls, and development charts in two new player colors.
- Features a special building phase to keep the game engaging and fast-paced for larger groups.
Epic Strategy for a Full Table
This extension is designed specifically for those who love the complexity of Cities & Knights but often have more than four people wanting to play. It provides everything needed to integrate two more players into the game, including new player colors, extra commodity cards, and progress cards. The game board expands, making the competition for territory even more fierce. You’ll need to balance your growth with the collective need to defend against barbarian raids, all while navigating the increased social complexity of a 6-player table.
Managing a Larger Realm
- Set up the expanded game board using additional hexes from your base 5-6 player extension.
- Distribute the new commodity and progress cards to ensure the game’s economy scales perfectly for six players.
- Use the Special Building Phase at the end of each turn, allowing players to build settlements or roads outside their own turn.
- Coordinate your knightly defenses—with more cities on the board, the barbarian threat becomes even more frequent and dangerous.
Why Bigger is Better in Catan
Playing Cities & Knights with 5 or 6 players increases the "social engine" of the game. Trading becomes more vital, and the Special Building Phase keeps everyone involved, reducing downtime between turns. The feeling of collectively repelling a massive barbarian invasion is far more epic with a full table of six players. It’s the ultimate version of the game for anyone who loves deep strategy combined with high-stakes social interaction.
Who is the Full Table For?
An essential addition for large gaming groups and families who want the ultimate Catan challenge.
- Large families and gaming groups who don't want to leave anyone out of the most strategic Catan experience.
- Players who enjoy a more crowded, competitive board where every hex of land is highly contested.
- Fans of social deduction and intense negotiation who thrive in larger group settings.
Expansion Components
2 sets of knight figures, 2 sets of city walls, 6 metropolis markers, 2 city improvement charts, additional commodity and progress cards, and an extension rulebook.
