Catan: Cities & Knights + 5-6 Player Extensions

You thought regular Catan had enough going on? Now there are cities to develop, knights to manage, progress cards to chase, and barbarians threatening the whole island. Cities & Knights adds a lot more decision-making to Catan and makes for a longer, meatier game night. Our set bundles the Cities & Knights expansion with the 5-6 Player Extension, so one rental fee covers both, extra value while we hold them as a single copy.

WHY RENT THIS ONE

Why it's worth a spot on your weekend

“Catan just got serious.”

Regular Catan is fun. Cities & Knights asks, "What if we gave you even more things to worry about?"

Now you are developing cities, managing knights, advancing through progress tracks, and preparing for barbarian invasions while still trying to build your roads and settlements. It adds more strategy, more decisions, and more opportunities to make a brilliant plan that gets ruined by one unexpected turn.

This is the Catan choice for older kids, teens, and adults who want a substantial game-night experience. Our set includes the base Catan game and supports 5 to 6 players with the included setup, making it a strong pick for a larger family or group that wants to spend a good chunk of the evening around the table.

Good to know

Table space

Needs a decent-sized table — a coffee table will not do it.
Reading load

There is real reading involved — not the best pick if someone at the table is still learning to read.
Getting knocked out

Nobody gets knocked out. Everyone plays to the last turn.
Pausing mid-game

Easy to pause. If someone has to step out, the table survives.
Setup time

About 20 minutes of setup before anyone touches a piece.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Renting, answered

Is requesting Catan: Cities & Knights + 5-6 Player Extensions a real reservation?

No — every button on this page is a request, not a booking. Deep Space Family Games doesn't run live availability, so we confirm by hand once you tell us you want Catan: Cities & Knights + 5-6 Player Extensions and when.

What happens if a piece from Catan: Cities & Knights + 5-6 Player Extensions goes missing?

Catan: Cities & Knights + 5-6 Player Extensions, like every game on the shelf, is counted against a written list before it goes out and again when it comes back, so a missing piece is a conversation with a number behind it, not a guess.
