5 to 6 players 120 min 12 years and up

It's not man who takes to the sea, it's the sea that takes man...
In this case, there are now 5 to 6 embarking on new maritime horizons in this essential expansion for Catan. The CATAN base game is required, as well as the 5-6 player expansion and the Seafarers expansion.
After conquering the first oceans, your settlers discover that exploration has only just begun: rivers of gold glimmer on unexplored islands. Sails are hoisted, ships set off into the unknown, and each discovery redefines strategy. More islands. More competition. Lively seas... and hungry pirates. The Seafarers of Catan will never be played the same way again.

How to play Catan Seafarers 5-6 player extension?

Game Setup

  • This expansion requires the Catan base game and the "classic" Seafarers expansion.
  • Add the sea hexes, ships, and new markers provided in the box.
  • Distribute resources and set up the board as in a classic game of Catan, but incorporating the sea hexes to allow for navigation.

Gameplay outline

  • Les joueurs construisent des navires à la place ou en plus des routes traditionnelles pour atteindre les tuiles en mer.
  • En naviguant, ils peuvent explorer de nouvelles îles, établir des colonies sur ces îles, ou exploiter des champs d’or représentés sur certaines tuiles spéciales
  • Le commerce devient plus dynamique : plus de joueurs signifie plus d’échanges, et les stratégies maritimes (comme s’étendre en mer ou bloquer d’autres joueurs) prennent de l’importance.



Win/Loss Condition

  • .As in a classic game of Catan, the goal is to earn victory pointsby building settlements, cities, and ships.
  • Some specific markers (e.g., victory flags) are included in the expansion for additional players.
  • The game ends as soon as a player reaches the required number of victory points (variable depending on scenarios or house rules).





Our Tips for Winning

  • Navigation strategy

    Optimize your use of ships: don't just create sea routes, but think about conquering tiles that yield rare resources (or gold).

  • Prioritizing high-potential islands

    Some islands are more lucrative than others: target islands with high-production tiles or "gold" tiles to maximize your gain.

  • Cleverly blocking your opponents

    At sea, you can use your ships not only to expand, but also to thwart the plans of others: block "strategic" routes or occupy important tiles.
