Review title: Catan Rivers of Gold
Product review: We found this expansion plays better when we play 5-6 players rather than 2-4. (Fishermen, on the other hand always plays great- 5 Stars for that) Since players can't set up on the three River tile inserts, it eliminates a large part of the 19 hex tiles to work with. With the 30 tile 5-6 player game these three hexes aren't so significant in the initial set-up.These Gold bonus hexes will usually produce about 5-6 victory points with one player taking 3 VP and another 2 in an average game. The real key to how agressively players pursue these Gold VPs is the numbers in the hexes. If those numbers are 5,6,8 & 9 the rush will be fast. If the numbers are 2,3,4,10,11& 12 the rush will be proportionally less.I'd say for the ocassional player, they could take-it or leave-it on this expansion. But for avid weekly players Rivers is a "must have" $3.00 piece of cardboard.
