CATAN - 5-6 Player Extension - 60 Minute Play Time
Published on 09/11/2026 at 20:35 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
CATAN - 5-6 Player Extension turns the island game into a six-seat table with 11 terrain hexes, 48 wooden player pieces, and a rules set built for 5 to 6 players.
What Comes In The Box
The box lists 4 sea frame pieces, 28 number discs, 2 player aids, 34 cards, and rules, along with a 60 minute average play time and a minimum age of 10. The product page also names CATAN Studio as publisher and gives the SKU CN3082.
At KOSMOS, the matching German edition shows the same structure for CATAN - Das Spiel - 5-6 Personen Erweiterung, including 11 landscapes, 4 frame pieces, 28 number chips, 25 resource cards, and 9 development cards. Its page lists 90 minutes, ages 10-99, and the article number 68505.
How The Extension Plays
The extra turn-taking rule matters because two people act in the same round, with the second player still allowed to build, trade, and exchange. KOSMOS says the expansion lets CATAN - Das Spiel be played with five or six people, and the same rule set appears in the German edition description.
That structure keeps the game tied to the base set instead of standing alone. The CATAN page says the 5-6 player extensions are added on top of CATAN - The Game and the chosen expansion, which is the same logic used by the KOSMOS edition page.
Price And Positioning
Asmodee lists the game at USD 23.99 with a regular price of USD 29.99 on the same page. The listing also identifies the product as CATAN - 5-6 Player Expansion and shows the 5 to 6 player range.
The German KOSMOS page gives the practical size at 298 mm x 151 mm x 45 mm and confirms the March 24, 2025 publication date. For US buyers, the Asmodee edition is the cleaner reference because it uses dollars and the current English-language product name.
Bottom Line For Players
CATAN - 5-6 Player Extension fits groups that want the standard Catan rules with two more seats and a slower, shared turn structure. The 60 minute listed play time, the 10-plus age rating, and the 48-piece player set make it a straightforward add-on for an existing CATAN shelf.
