CATAN 3D Edition

The 3d aspect adds so much to the game. My wife even likes playing now.Seems a bit pricey now, I got mine much cheaper than current pricing.Cannot find a 5-6 player expansion for the 3D.

I never review products. This however is review worthy. My wife and I have had our eye on this set for about 6 months since we were first taught how to play Catan. After playing with my brother-in-law, we bought the GOT edition and played it so much the cardboard began pulling at the edges. The search began for a more sturdy “elite” set. I saw the price initially and damn near had a stroke. However, the more I looked at videos and pictures of the set, the more I wanted this for my family’s game collection. We pulled the trigger on buying this and it got here a day ahead of time. I’m so utterly impressed with the quality of the product that I wish I would have done a YouTube unboxing video. The attention to detail, the hard plastic that everything is made out of, the hand painted look is everything I hoped for and more. The sole “complaint” I have is how busy the board looks compared to the 2D versions. However, once you get used to it, it becomes just as enjoyable as the 2D versions.

We play Catan at least 2x a month with friends. We got the 3d model since one of the players is hard of seeing. The raised terrane helps a lot. We did use the original game pcs., the 3D pcs are amazing but there wasn't enough contrast for him to pick out who's were who's. The hexes are nice and thick and ridged.

My friend's copy of this. His yellow disks had the numbers rub off some time before playing the game 20 times.So when I got my copy today. I decided to put a clear coat of nail polish to protect the numbers so they last. While it didn't come out perfect. I want to say if you are going to do this. Make sure you cover the numbers with the clear coat in one pass. When I went to use the brush to thin the clear coat. It began to take off the black numbers and dots. It made 1 number look antiqued and number 12 was mostly stripped. However I was able to use a black sharpie to write the Number 12 and Dot back on. Thankfully it doesn't look horrible.

This is one of those things that’s entirely unnecessary, but completely changes the game. The level of detail and perfect execution is incredible. We have been playing Catan for years, but this adds another level to the game. Each piece is exquisitely detailed and will last a long time. my wife’s only complaint is that the number tiles don’t slot in perfectly on the resource tiles other than that it is a flawless execution.

This box is a good implementation of the classic Settlers of Catan base game.The components seem to be painted well and easy to handle without risks of breakage. The 3D aspect adds value to playing the game for those who want to take the step.I do wish they had a 5-6 player expansion compatible. I am considering painting the player pieces myself, but my painting skills are not as good and could ruin the nice look of the pieces as they exist now.

We have been playing Catan and all of the variations for many years. We love the look and feel of this 3D version! I wish there was an expansion so we could play with more people.

Only after a couple uses one of the maritime sheep trade pieces came detached from the boat stand and had to be glued back together.Some included water tiles would have been nice for the price point without having to buy the even more expensive expansion but using two of the base Catan water tiles stacked onto one another brings the water to the height of the 3D tiles and worked great for custom map configurations especially for smaller two or three player games.For $200 I expected better build quality and the price is just ridiculous for what you get. Saying that I absolutely love the look of the 3D version and looks allot better than the base Catan and helps with immersion and if you are a fan of the game and have the exposable income and play enough to make the investment worth while I'd say go for it.
