A 3D version of popular board game Catan is on the way, an♈d it features individually hand-painted tiles. Unsurprisingly dubbed Catan - 3D Edition, it's now and will set you back $300 from the official CatanShop website.

Designed as a premium collector's item, this three-dimensional spin on Catan comes with terrain tiles based on those sculpted by the game's designer, Klaus Teuber. The player pieces have also been antiqued to give them a more rustic feel. However, those behind Catan - 3D Edition are at pains to point out that these components 🦩are durable enough to weather their fair share of games.

Getting deja-vu? This isn't the first time we've seen a 3D C𓆏atan. The studio created a liಌmited run back in 2005, but it's near-impossible to get hold of these days. Because production technology has come a long way since then, Catan Studio CEO Pete Fenlon notes that this version "creates a visually stunning foundation for immersive storytelling.”

Although it may filter down to other retailers like Amazon before launch, Catan - 3D Edition is exclusive to the Catan Shop for now. It probably won't last long either (the original is arguably one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best board games ever made, after all), so it might be a good idea to pre-order now so you don't have to wait another 15 years for your ch♚ance.

Luckily, it's not a total disaster if you miss the boat - this isn't the only cool Catan-shaped upgrade the franchise has had in the last few years. Alongside a special with tweaked playing pieces (they've got a metallic sparkle to them) and custom card trays to go with card sleeves and revised dice, there's also been the sci-fi inspired and that feat🔯ures the Night's Watch. Basically, there's plenty of Catan goodness to go around.
