apply when playing 5-6 players. There is, however, one rule addition that players of the Catan 5-6 player extension will already be familiar with—The Special Building Phase.

As always, on your turn, you first perform the following three actions:

1) Roll the dice for resource production2) Trade and build3) Move your ships and perform ship actions if you wish

And here’s the addition:After you finish your turn, starting with the player to your

left, each of your opponents may now, in turn order, perform special builds.

The Special Building PhaseDuring the Special Building Phase, as stated on page 3 of

TheSettlersofCatan5-6PlayerExtensionrulebook,youmay build anything that you are able to create with your resources. You may not trade resources with your opponents orthebank(maritimetrade).Youarenotallowedtomoveyour ships, and you may not buy anything with gold. See Example 5, below, for an example of how the Special Building Phaseworks.
