Asmodee and Catan Studios have just announced a massive 3D deluxe edition of the mega popular board game:
The island of Catan rises up from the table for an immersive game experience like no other. Settlements grow up from fertile grain fields and cities nestle into the sides of majestic mountains. You can almost hear the sheep baahing in their pastures.
This long-awaited 3D Edition of the contemporary classic board game CATAN is based on terrain tiles that were hand-sculpted by the game designer Klaus Teuber himself. All of the terrain is hand painted for stunning color, and intricately designed player pieces are antiqued for a look that is full of history and character.
“CATAN – 3D Edition is the product of years of diligent effort and attention to detail,” said Pete Fenlon, CEO of CATAN Studio. “Our goal was to create a durable premium product that not only looks beautiful on a game table, but that also creates a visually stunning foundation for immersive storytelling.”
While this isn’t the first 3D version of Catan to hit the market, this version looks to be a vastly improved edition compared to the limited release in 2005.
CATAN – 3D Edition Contains:
- Hand-painted 3D terrain hex tiles, sea frames, and harbor markers
- Antiqued 3D player pieces in four colors
- Antiqued robber figure
- Card sorting trays
- Custom CATAN dice
This limited edition version of the game will be available to pre-order this Tuesday from the Catan Shop for $300 USD and ships this August.
