Catan - Explorers & Pirates 5-6 Player Extension
The ocean is vast, and now there is room for everyone to set sail! With this extension, you can finally invite more friends to join your quest across the high seas. Discover new lands, trade rare spices, and clear out pirate lairs in a full group of up to six players.
Why play this game
- Expands the mission-based adventure for larger groups of up to 6 players.
- Introduces new map hexes and missions to maintain perfect game balance.
- Includes complete sets of high-quality plastic pieces for the 5th and 6th explorers.
A Bigger Horizon for Your Adventures
The Explorers & Pirates 5-6 Player Extension brings a new scale to your Catan experience. No one has to stay on the shore anymore—now you can compete for glory across five different scenarios with a full table. This set provides additional map hexes to keep the board balanced for more players, ensuring that the race to discover spice islands and pirate dens remains as tight and exciting as ever. It seamlessly integrates with the mechanics of the expansion, allowing for epic voyages that involve everyone at your game night.
How the Voyage Expands
- Integrate the new sea and land hexes into your Explorers & Pirates layout to create a larger, balanced board for 5-6 players.
- Hand out the new plastic pieces to the additional players, allowing them to build their own fleets and colonies from the start.
- Use the specific 5-6 player rules to keep the game moving quickly, ensuring minimal downtime between your turns.
- Sail your ships into the unknown to uncover tiles, battle pirates, and ferry resources back to your home port for victory points.
Why You Will Love the Larger Crew
Playing with six players adds a whole new level of social interaction and strategic depth. With more explorers on the map, trading becomes more vital and the competition for prime harbor spots and resource-rich islands intensifies. The added board space allows for epic discoveries, while the specialized mission mechanics ensure that every player has multiple paths to victory. It is the definitive way to experience Catan’s most adventurous expansion without leaving anyone out of the fun.
Who is Ready to Board?
