Why no 6 players?

[Obamer]

Why doesnt this support the expansion sized board with all 6 people?

[USM [CM]]

We are evaluating a 6 player version but please keep in mind that a 6 player game would take way longer than a 4 player games.

[Obamer]

I fully understand this. I own the boardgame and know how games go. Just kind of makes sense to have the ability to play the full extent of the game. Please consider bringing the expansion to this game.

[Obamer]

Correct. The game duration is not the factor of consideration. I would like to play this game with more friends. 4 player games on the physical small board can take 45 minutes for us. 6 player games have taken well over an hour.

I hope game duration is not what is holding back bringing the expansion to this game. Because if someone did not want to participate in a game that long in duration, one would think they would just not queue up for the 6 player mode.

Yesterday, i bought the game for playing online with my mates during the corona-pandemic. We are a six-person group playing Catan since almost 20 years together. Looking forward your evaluation will last not that long ;-)

Agreed Ringelnatter! Have 6 friends that have played consistently for 20 years like you! Disappointed that we can't continue in Quarantine! This Cornavirus sucks, but not having 6 player might have just made this worldwide nightmare worse! C'mon Steam and Catan Universe, make it happen! All you have time to do is code now! Would be willing to pay $10 per person for this version to be online.

just use colonist.io, they actually improve their game and its free.

Yes please, same here! Corona + Group of 6!
This was really a major shock to recognize that only 4 can play.
Please consider fast as we planned to play more often these days.

[Gecko]

Ditto this! Corona and a group of 6 here too!

I was floored by this :(

[Neojet]

Can't we play at 4 players ???

[Obamer]

yes you can play 4 players. Just not 6.

[Neojet]

how is it possible ? when i create a custom game, it's only 3 players ! (i didn't buy any extension)

[Arkhyne]

effectivement l extension 6 joueurs est beaucoup plus interessante, notamment sur l'extension chevalier. J'attend cela avec impatience.

EHHHH I don't think so. Build phases keep the game moving.

[Obamer]

Maybe its 3 players then. i only played twice because everytime after that i was unable to connect to the server. I would NOT spend money on this game.
