I’ve gained many a pound from Tostitos on Cities and Knights night. There are even official Catan craft beers courtesy of Champion Beverage Club. The aftermath of family and/or friends getting together and a Catan game right in the middle of it all. It has released on virtual tabletop platforms like Board Game Arena as well as a few (discontinued) mobile ports. There have been sci-fi spinoffs like Catan: Starfarers. In addition to the expensive Catan 3D and the more economical cardboard versions available.
#Giant catan board series#
These announcements show just how much the the Catan series has endured. Catan - Dawn of Humankind will be officially releasing at hobby stores in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK on October 1, 2022. As the name implies, the game will introduce new mechanics set in the prehistoric era, charting the worldwide migration of the first humans. This is a standalone board game experience designed by Catan's original creator, Klaus Teuber, and his son Benjamin. This is described as a vibrant reboot of 2002's Settlers of the Stone Age. In this same press release, Asmodee announced a spin-off of their beloved board game: Catan - Dawn of Humankind. If you have any questions, or if you want in on the official match, post here.Image Credit: Asmodee Publishing What Other Catan Games Were Announced? It may seem like I'm making a big deal about it, but I hope you all understand how important it is to me. I'm trusting you guys with my favorite possession. In general, just remember that the set is important to me, and be careful with it. When finished, count the pieces, put the set away completely, and return it to it's dry/safe storage location. If something does happen to the set, let CB know right away. Put it somewhere where it won't be stepped on and won't get wet.
It may be the most fragile part of the whole set, and it also happens to be one of the more expensive parts to replace. Be especially careful with the giant cardboard box. It's designed to be able to take a little sprinkling of rain, but a downpour would ruin some pieces.
If it's going to rain, pack up the set. As much as possible walk around the board, not over it. No more than one person should be out on the board at a time. Don't wear cleats or stilettos on the board, nor take beverages with you when you venture out. Watch where you step when on the board. Use the cones to help passersby know where to go to avoid the board. Let CB know if you want to play, just to make sure that no other plans have been made already for the set during that timeframe. In general all of the pieces are meant to be replaceable, but I still don't want to have to replace them. Remember this set cost me about $700 and lots of hours to craft, so some care should be taken. Since there is room on ICHQ property to play the game this year, it will be available for games outside of the official time as well. (Note that this event overlaps the non-league MtG draft event.) I'll take the first 16 ins in this thread for the game, and teams will be randomized. I'll be officiating the game and giving a play-by-play to the spectators. I'm going to try to limit turn times this year, but I'm not sure how well it will work, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time if you want to play. It is scheduled for 3 hours because last year we learned that when you have four people controlling one color on a catan board, decisions can take quite a bit of debate. There will be an 'official' game of Giant Catan on Friday at 2pm. As last year, I will be bringing my hand-crafted copy of Giant Catan to EPIC.
