Can you use this with the 5 to 6 player expansion?

They make a 5-6 person expansion specific to traders and barbarians. You would also need to have the original Catan game, the Traders and Barbarians expansion, the Traders and Barabian 5-6 player expansion, and regular Catan 5-6 expansion.

Yes, you can. Play modes are: Solo, Online Multiplayer and Play & Pass. All of them with 5 players max. Good game, I recomend it.

No, you can give the 5th player any role. In fact, the rules recommend not using the bio terrorist variant with 4 normal players+bio-terrorist, as the variant works best when playing with 2-3 normal players.

There are multiple roles for the 5th player, but you do not need to use the bioterrorist as one of them. This is an optional feature of the game that you can decide whether or not to use it in your game. We have not tried it, but the reviews I've watched for the expansion sounds like it is either a hit or miss depending on your gaming group. I do like the new roles and the purple disease that this expansion offers. The bioterrorist is another feature that you can decide if you want to try it or not.

Absolutely. I think it's more fun with 3 or 4 players but works just fine with two.

You can easily play with just an expansion pack. There are just not as many cards in the expansion packs, so your games may be shorter.

You can play the game solo, so minimum player is one. The game itself comes with enough to play four maximum...but I know there is a promo out there that can add a fifth player.

The game is playable with 6, but you will want to supplement the chips with some extra pennies or something so that you don't run out. I'm not sure that I would try with more than that.

Yes, it works just fine with two players. We've played it quite a bit with 2, 3 and 4 players and all play slightly differently but are all just as enjoyable.

I don't see why you can't play with 3 players. I think it would work just fine. More players often makes the game more fun since there are more answers to bet on but 3 should be just fine in my opinion.

Yes. You have to have the original game to use this expansion kit. It literally has four extra sides to make the original game board bigger and has extra hex pieces for the land in the middle and two extra sets of roads, cities, and settlements for the extra two players. Well worth the money if you want to play more than four players. We love this game so much, I have this one set up for 5-6 players and the Star Trek Version of Catan for only 4 or less!!

You can. I've played it with students as 3 player. But you might want to modify the rules a bit. Because with 3 players, you either score 2 points or no points. Which isn't as much fun as with 4 or more players.

I have several extentions and I play with 2 to 6 players depending on who's available.

Seven people can play the party pack? I had to do some research myself on it before I purchased this one.

Fiasco is designed for 3-5 players. More than five players and it doesn't work right, less than three and you have the same problem. I would not recommend playing with less than 3 players... 4 seems like the sweet spot to me.

We have always played up to 4 decks with 4-6 players, but you can include more decks if you want the game to go on.
