Learn when you need a Sorcerer extra player board to play with 5 or 6 players, and how to set up your game correctly.
Quick answer
You need one extra player board to play Sorcerer with 5 players, and two extra boards for 6 players.
Why player count matters
Sorcerer is designed for up to 4 players out of the box. Adding more players without the extra boards can lead to confusion over shared spaces and slow down the game.
Each extra player board gives one additional player a dedicated area for their spells, health, and resources. Without it, players may crowd around the main board, causing mistakes.
Diagnosis: When to add an extra player board
- Symptom: You want to play Sorcerer with 5 or 6 players, but the base game only supports 4.
- Likely cause: The base game includes only 4 player boards. Additional players lack their own board, causing clutter and confusion.
- Corrective action: For 5 players, add 1 extra player board. For 6 players, add 2 extra player boards. You also need expansion packs (like Sylvanei Lineage Pack or Coastal Battlefields) to provide enough game pieces for everyone. Check if you have expansion packs before buying extra boards.
- Stop or choose another option: If you only want to play with 4 players, you do not need an extra player board. If you want to play with more than 6 players, Sorcerer does not support that player count. For groups larger than 6, consider splitting into two separate games.
Product facts
- Sorcerer Extra Player Board Each: To play Sorcerer with more than 4 players, you’ll need expansion packs and one extra player board for 5 players or two extra player boards for 6 players. Player Boards are made of sturdy game-board material. The sturdy material ensures the board holds up to repeated use, and the correct number of boards keeps the game organized for larger groups.
