Is the 5-6 player size big enough for seafarers?
2041224
No it is not big enough for most of the Seafarers you could improvise though. There are just not enough slots for the terrain hexes. If you have an earlier edition you'll need to buy the newer port pieces as there is no room for the original port hexes. I hope this make sense!

No. It will only fit the original catan and the cities and knights expansion

No there is no place for the ship movement "piece" to go but this version of the board allows for 4 or 5-6 player. All said the ship piece never went on the board. this board makes life so much better and easier i did wish there was a better way of storing it however.

Without the Pirate and Bounty Hunters expansion, the game is going to be fairly low-interaction with any number of players. So if you dislike that style of semi-solo play in other games, then you probably won't like it here either. You're mostly playing against the board, and the other player is just pressuring you to do it efficiently. But this aspect actually bothers me more with a larger number of players (where you have lots of downtime while a bunch of other players go), and bothers me less in a 2-3 person game.

Yes, you can play as few as three. Of course, the recommended number of players is probably four+.

If you are playing just 2, it will be cramped but doable. However, if you have 3 or 4, you need a big table. If you want a good small 2 player game, some of the Cataan card games are good. I am not sure if you want a space theme, or a good card game. Board game geek has a good list of top card games: http://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/15301/top-25-award-winning-card-games

I would think so. Ours comfortably houses Playmobil figures, Bruder men, some old wooden peg folk and a 6-inch Ensign Sulu.

Gosh, it depends upon how many handholds you have, how old (how big) the kids are and, of course, how much room you have! I favor the 12' one, simply because its size makes it more versatile for things like building a fort indoors (draping it over tables, etc), and is more manageable for the kids to handle and pack around. Also, if there are kids on every handhold--and I think there are at least 8 handholds on the 12' version--they can get a great "billow" effect on the 12' 'chute, as opposed to the 20'. I guess I'd recommend the 12' for your gang. It's a great party game thing as well as creative play. Have fun!

I don't think adding more dice would make it more accommodating for larger groups. I believe the one set would be enough. The game rotation is very quick. We have played with as many as 9 people and did just fine with one set. We love the game-enjoy!

I use it for the Auvi-Q's. I have a large and there is more than enough space for 2 Auvi's.

No. Unfortunately, it can only be played with the recommended amount of players.

Typical play for this ship (and any epic ship) is a 6x3 surface. However there are missions (Cinematic Play) for this ship that use varied size play areas. 1 -3x3, 2 -3x4, 1 -3x5, and 2 -3x6. That said, Epic Tournament play, the play area is 6x3.

I believe this is only the 3-4 player expansion to the Settlers game. You need the Seafarers 5-6 expansion in addition to this if you want more players. Looks like Amazon does have it under "Catan: Seafarers 5 and 6 Players Extension".

You have to use the borders from the base game as well as from Seafarers expansion. If you use all of them from both games there will be enough.

Yes, it can. It can be fun (for a while as you learn it) but eventually you'll want the add on ships to make it more interesting and exciting. We actually play with 2 core sets (the extra dice and accessories help too) and extra ships.

you can. it will be really short and boring. i find fiasco works best with 4-5 players

Yes. Up to 6 can play but I have only played with 1 other person and it goes well.

It would be easy to fit 20 small ships in the lower level. I recommend keeping the plastic they come in, then trimming that down with scissors to fit in the Plano case. It is in much more secure that way, the miniatures don't shake around so much when you move it around.
