CATAN
In 5-6 player Catan, can players build during other players' turns?
Several posters describe the same older rule, and the newer compromise is noted in the same discussion.

Under the older 5-6 rules, yes. After each turn every other player in clockwise order takes a special build turn, and a player who isn't ready to build misses the chance. They build with cards in hand but can't trade or use harbours. A later compromise lets only the player across from the active player build, and posters say that version appears in the newer official rules.
