In my experience, Catan is more than a game, it's a game framework. Try exploring with what you have and see if it works out! Even if it doesn't work out it will be a cheap night of entertainment!

@corsiKa The Family Edition removes a lot of that possibility though. The hexes are not each separate pieces to allow for trying other things; there really isn't any way that you can physically combine the pieces from the 5-6 player expansion to accommodate more players.

<p>I have a version of Settlers of Catan that I can't seem to figure out. It is a family edition, but doesn't match anything I can find online. I recently bought an expansion for the 5-6 players, but the pieces were too big for my smaller pieces to be compatible. I'd like to get an expansion that matches mine, but can't find anything other than 5th editions<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/e6keA.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/e6keA.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
