Ok, I have purchased the 5-6 play expansion for Catan. What further upgrades do you guys suggest?

Here is a link to a forum on BGG that discusses that:

I picked up the Seafarers expansion tonight. Just waiting for everyone to read the rule book so we can play scenario 1. Looks like a good expansion.

It’s best played with Knights, as a massive game.

Anyone here played the Catan Card Game?
I got it a couple of months ago, and I was just looking for some more input on the game. I’ve never played the regular Catan boardgame, although I think that I would like to tryit . My problem recently has been that I have no one (or only 1 player, and I think that the Catan boardgame requires 3 players. Right?) to play any games with pretty much, so I’ve just been playing Axis & Allies here using Battlemap.

Here is a way to play a 2 player game of Settlers of Catan. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/21616/klaus2player-pdf
I used this for the first 2 or 3 games that I played.

I plan on picking up Cities and Knights next. Then the Traders and Barbarians expansion. Also looking into the Candamir and Elasund games of Catan.
I picked up Cities and Knights yesterday. There is a page of variants in the rule book and one of them is how to add the Seafarers expansion to be played with Cities and Knights. I cannot wait to play some Seafarers scenarios then a couple games of Cities and Knights then combine the two. Next to get will be the Traders and Barbarians expansion.
Settlers of Catan Coming to PlayStation

@ABWorsham:
Just played tonight for the first time, it is a fun game. Thanks for the previous advice.
Just played my first game tonight. Almost won, too…well, There were two other newbs, and I’m good at strategy, so it doesn’t really count.
Now if we could only FMG to re-stock the connect hex for Catan (or whatever they’re called)… look quite cool.

Not sure that they are needed with the current printing of the game. The blue border keeps things in place quite nicely.
I love Settlers of Catan. It’s definitely a close second to Axis and Allies. The only thing that I don’t like is the sometimes anti-climactic endings. In AaA you can always count on a fight to the death for the last capital, or an all-out invasion of Washington or Japan. Once in Settlers my friend won the game and didn’t even notice, so we kept playing for two full rounds until finally someone pointed it out to him.

You can do that or if someone else gets 10 victory points and declares it first then that person is the winner. I don’t tell anyone that they have 10 points if they do not notice it.

Try a game called Dominion if you like Catan. I had been looking at it on BGG and when we went to the FLGS to get Catan expansion Traders and Barbarians and did not see a copy in the store I remembered that Dominion was supposed to be a good game. It was my birthday that we went to the FLGS so my wife was with me. She told me to get something so I picked up Dominion and looked at the back of the box and she looked at it as well. It is a card game and when she noticed that she indicated that she likes card games so we bought it. We have not played Catan since. I have bought 2 other expansions for Dominion since then and have 2 more that I would like to get. Very fun game.
