Q: I have 5 & 6 year old girls, do you think their age could handle this game? Could they play it without adult supervision? How much reading is there?

They would be able to handle it themselves...once they understand the rules. Though this is the Junior version of the game, there are still a few rules. My 7 year old kind of makes things up he doesn't remember when I'm not playing, but he still has a good time with his friends that are around his same age. If you're willing to play it a few times to help them learn the rules, then this game would be enjoyable to them by themselves. There's not much reading once you know the rules. Just rolling the dice and moving your pieces depending on what you roll.

Q: How is it possible to get 7 lairs on the board to win with 4 players? We couldn't fit more than 5 tops before the board was full. Who wins then?

There are 42 spaces for lairs, thats 7 for each of 4 players. You could get blocked but i feel like one player should be able to get 7 at least. Are you placing the lairs correctly and using the correct board side? I havent had this issue.

Q: Would this be interesting enough to a just turned 6 that has been playing regular adult monopoly for almost a year already? To simplistic or perfect

The game is a lot like regular Catan, with a few rule changes here and there. The strategy aspect is well-represented, and the game plays through much faster, making it more accessible for kids, who don't always have the greatest attention span. Practically speaking, having a 'ghost pirate' instead of a 'thief' and how that changes that aspect of the game was something I found I liked, given that I play the game with my 5 year old. The game does hold the interest of older -- 17 & 18 -- boys, and as an adult I find that I can easily play it. I can't judge for you, as I don't know your child's strengths and weaknesses, but hopefully what I noticed can help you make a decision!

Q: Are the directions for the game in spanish?

Not this version but there is a Spanish edition of the regular version. https://www.amazon.com/colonos-Catán-Settlers-Catan-Spanish/dp/8415828926

My Kids Played Once at a Campout and Were Instantly Hooked!

My older kids first played Catan Junior at a campout with friends and couldn’t stop talking about it — so we had to get our own copy! It’s such a fun, kid-friendly version of the classic Catan game. The pirate theme makes it exciting, and the gameplay is simple enough for younger kids to learn while still keeping older ones engaged. Pretty sure my husband loves it the most!They love collecting resources, building pirate lairs, and figuring out their next moves. I love that it sneaks in strategic thinking, patience, and even a little math — all while they’re just having fun.It’s great for family game night, doesn’t drag on too long, and the quality is solid. If your kids are around 6–10 (even my 5 year old crushes it) and you want a screen-free game the whole family can enjoy, this one’s a winner!

Great family game!

Great family game with kiddos! My daughter loves it (7 years old) and didn’t take long to pick up on it. Takes way less time than regular Catan.

Missing piece, love playing with my 5 year old

I played Catan original with friends and family a lot many years ago. I was very happy to discover the junior version. Its a learning experience for a 5 year old. I personally love the simple rules with few paths to win - build lairs or get a free lair by collecting coco cards.Only bummer is that my set has a ship piece missing from 1 of the colors.
