It almost gives Catan an entire facelift with the different scenario's and board pieces. I'd get this one last when you all are veterans at the game. Settlers of Catan with all the expansions and tools in one. It has a lot of different elements to it that tell the Catan story after it's been settled and you further develop the island. Play Time: 1-2 Hours (+TTS time) Gameplay: Competative Board Game. Traders and Barbarians is more of a scenario expansion.

It's a lot of fun, I enjoy this expansion the most. It's the easiest expansion to incorporate new players.Ĭities and Knights is a lot of fun where there is a co-op element involved plus an entire different way to win.

5-6 let's you play with 2 more people and Seafarers expands the board so you can settle more than 1 island. Did you once intensely enjoy Settlers of Catan, but the initial fire has died out For many, the game has been played countless times and has become, dare I say it, boring. I suggest you get the base 5-6 expansion or Seafarers first. There is a new expansion that game out last year called Explorers & Pirates which I haven't played yet. An expansion extends a game, while the others on this list provide new things, what this does is add more of the core game you love. Traders and Barbarians + the 5-6 expansion Catan: 5 6 Player Extension takes the top spot on the list of the best Settlers of Catan expansions because it provides the absolute most any expansion can give you. I bought all the expansions all in one shot about 4 years ago.
