Why no 5-6 player option?

Post by Todd L »

Why is there no 5-6 player option for Catan? It' very limiting to only allow 4 max players when my family is 5 players.

Such an option would require the expansion be implemented.

I'd be against it purely to stop the threads asking to be able to play 3 players on the 5-6 player board.

It is kinda odd not to have that expansion, but I think its wierd they don't have Seafarers either, so what do I know lol?

I would love to see a seafarers expansion along with 5-6 player version. Make the board bigger for expansion play only. Catan is a highly played game and can afford to be expanded. Just my opinion.

I would very much enjoy a 5-6 player option, my friend group regularly goes over the 4 player limit then we end up on colonists or some other alternative that supports it, when I'd rather play here.

It must take a while for them to organize the 5-6 player map. I asked for this over a year ago.

Honestly, its pretty trash to not have the 5-6 player option for the "premium" site. Lazy programmers.

You know the solution then? Set up a Dev account and get cracking. You'll be done in no time I'm sure.
