## Questions & Answers

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