Now, Teuber has joined forces with his son, Benjamin, to design the retooled and renamed Catan – Dawn of Humankind. Settlers of the Stone Age first released in 2002 and took the standard Catan experience back to the Stone Age. An exact release date for the two expansions was not provided, and Dicebreaker has reached out for more information.Īnyone who balked at the cost of Catan 3D can instead set their sights on a rebooted version that sends players deep into the past. For those lucky or wealthy enough, Seafarers and Cities & Knights can be played separately or combined for a much more complex experience and what will probably be a beautiful display of hand-painted, hex-tile terrain. That’s more than the price of Catan 3D’s base game, which is required to play either expansion. There’s also invading marauders, forcing players to form temporary alliances of necessity to survive the deadly onslaught.īoth expansions will ship in “one big, beautiful box” containing 363 individual pieces that retail for a whopping US$399.99. In comparison, Cities & Knights focuses inward by introducing systems for improving cities’ infrastructure and technologies at the cost of commodities. Seafarers expands the gameplay into the ocean surrounding the main continent, allowing players to access island tiles with additional resources and goals only if they are able to construct and helm ships from the mainland.
Both Seafarers and Cities & Knights, which Catan Studio claims in a press release are two of their most popular sellers, will eventually make their way into 3D. Two popular Catan expansions will now join the base game in premium quality runs. Like its predecessor the 3D version is all hand painted, from roads to robbers, and many of the components sport an antiqued finish. The classic tile-based board game is planning to add two expansions - Seafarers and Cities & Knights - to the premium Catan 3D line, whilst Settlers of the Stone Age will be rebooted and rebranded as Catan – Dawn of Humankind later this year.Ĭatan 3D previously shocked our collective bank accounts when the premium version of Catan Studio’s titular board game announced a $300 price tag for tiles, figures and pieces originally sculpted by the title’s designer, Klaus Teuber, for 2005’s limited run of The Settlers of Catan Collector’s Edition. Fans of Catan will enjoy a bumper crop year, even if it comes at the cost of their wallet.
