In your features description you state 3-4 players but on the official catan.com website it states 2-4 players, please clarify.

I play using the regular rules of Catan, and we’ve done all of the B&T expansions with two people, and we like it perfectly fine. The one we haven’t tried is Catan for Two expansion with the dummy player ironically, it looks fun but my playing partners aren’t interested. Honestly, four people on the base board is too much IMO. I don’t have the 5-6 expansion, but I’ve heard 4 is better on that.

I have the base Catan game and we usually play with the 5-6 player expansion. Will this work with 5-6 players?

You will also need a T&B 5-6 Player Expansion to play the "Scenarios" offered. There are a couple of "Variants", however, that alter the base game slightly which can be played with 5-6 players. An example of a "Variant" is a deck of cards with numbers 2-12 that players draw from instead of rolling dice. Some of these cards have Events like "Plots with Cities adjacent only receive 1 Resource". Hope this helps!

compatible with 5th edition core game?

Yes. Any of the Catan Games with this vertical box art style is going to be 5th edition (most current edition). Boxes with the horizontal box art and the name "Settlers of Catan" are going to be 4th and previous editions.

Is this item brand new or used? Does it have the plastic wrapping?

Amazon does not allow sale of used games in the New condition. They should come with intact shrink wrap. On occasion, the wrap might be slightly torn, but that does not impact the quality.Dave

Incredibly well delivered and excellent game!

I was very scared of ordering a game from amazon as I was not sure how the box would arrive. To my surprise, the board game came safely secured in a box with foam to protect it from any damage during the transport. Regarding the game it is a fantastic game! You need the basic Catan 3-4 people. There is another expansion available that is for 5-6 people so you have to be careful when placing your order! It has multiple possibilities and variations of the game so it is impossible to be bored at Catan. The rules are well explained and the materials are superb. The figurines are made of wood and the quality of the extra pieces to be added to the original board are great. The colours are bright and for the money you can have hours and hours of fun! I absolutely recommend it for anybody that likes to play Catan and wants to make it a little bit more challenging.

all fine.

Came with the wrong instruction manual. Game is Traders and Barbarians but in the box was Cities and Knights manual. Apart from that, all fine.

Confusing Instructions

This is a good addition to the basic Settlers of Catan game, but took some time to work out, as it seemed as though there were pieces missing. Not all the versions are equally enjoyable - we have ended up changing the rules for one of the games.
