Catan 6th Edition & Expansions
The newest version of Catan launched in April.
Catan was first introduced in 1995, with each version gradually altering its aesthetics and mechanics. The fifth version in 2015 represented a significant transformation for the series, transitioning from “The Settlers of Catan” to just “Catan.” This latest version does not introduce any drastic changes, but it provides a more inclusive journey along with an enhanced environmentally friendly design.
Here’s a summary of all the modifications:
- Revamped visuals: Expect to see more vibrant artwork and contemporary designs that simplify understanding the game. This includes new character depictions showcasing greater diversity.
- High-quality, eco-conscious materials: Components are designed with minimal plastic and a focus on sustainability. You’ll discover new textured hex tiles and refreshed card trays that facilitate better organization.
- Clever storage solutions: The contents of the 5-6 Player Extension Pack can now be accommodated within the base game box, allowing for easier transportation of all elements.
- Enhanced rule manual: Although the gameplay rules remain unchanged, the rulebook has been revised to include clearer illustrations and examples, aiding newcomers in grasping the fundamentals.
If you possess additional Catan expansions, they should be compatible with the new 6th Edition. The rules hold steady across all editions, yet you may need to manage differing art styles.
