Official upgrades to CATAN accessories. Gemstone Robbers, Resource-Infused Dice, Polished Resin Tiles, and more.
Backers,
Just a quick update. We just wrapped up production on the civilizations and made a color adjustment on the Chinese Civilization to match the core CATAN blue vs the original sky blue concept. It came out looking great!
Product is rolling off the line and we cant wait to start shipping in a few months!

Greetings Backers,
Production of all products are in full swing! We are working on finalizing dates and shipping schedules. All items will be shipping together, so unfortunately, even a single issue with one item is holding up the who schedule (traffic jam).
One issue we have run into is that with the Antique Gold color. When testing in gameplay, we realized that this Antique Gold color was too similar to the Antique Silver and Antique Copper colors when placed on the board together.
Because of this, we decided to switch the gold to a shiny gold color below. The Catan team loves this new shiny gold color. If you selected the Antique Gold color and do not like this shiny gold color there is still time to select a different color option from our other available colors. If you selected Antique Gold, it will automatically be updated to this shiny gold.
As promised, the packaging is coming out great and is super premium which is also featured below.
For those that got the resin tiles, we found during gameplay that they look incredible on a light surface, but fade a bit on a dark surface. As a solution, we will be including a free while table covering to play on for anyone that ordered those to maximize the play experience.
We continue to navigate the tarriff situation and there are no plans to pass any of this cost on to backers.
We apologize for the delay in delivery. We know a lot of people spent a lot of hard earned money on these sets and want to make sure that we deliver the incredible premium experience that you expect from us, so it is a case of "measure twice, cut once" which is taking longer than we planned. As soon as product finishes production, we will send an update with schedules.
CATAN Friends,
We continue to move forward with the Masterpeice Series! There are about 70 items in the line and we are working on getting every one perfect.
We have finalized and gone to production on 59 of the items. The final 11 have been tweaked and we will be showing them to the CATAN team at New York Toy Fair in the coming week for final approval.
The current holdup has been that we are tweaking the outer frame peices to make sure that the joints are snug, but not too loose or tight. We are working on getting this perfect in both wood and resin and have been dialing in the last millimeters.
With approval, all items will officially be in production and we will move to delivery of goods to the US and shipping. We are still on track for late spring (May).
More pics coming soon!

Happy New Year, Catan fans! We are thrilled to officially be in production as we head into 2026 and want to share some photos of the final products with you.
Shipping is still looking to begin in May. We apologize for the delay; the timing issues stem from our excitement and from adding new items to the project, like expansion packs, cards, and additional civilizations. When the project ended, we had over 70 SKUs, and we needed to ensure each one was perfect. Everything, including sizing, fit, color, and packaging, needs to meet both our standards and those of the CATAN team, which has taken longer than anticipated due to the many options. We apologize and promise it will be worth the wait!
Thanks again for your support, and we'll be back with another update in February or March!
We are thrilled with the progress on the Masterpiece Series! Final molds are complete, and samples of all 74 unique products have been made! That's a lot of items.
This week, the CATAN HQ will receive the final samples and packaging for approval, and then we will make final tweaks and go into production!
We were a little too aggressive in our timelines, given the number of items and adding in the metal cards and expansion sets. We are now looking to start mass production in January. With the Chinese New Year, shipping is likely to occur closer to May 2026.
Here is another sneak peek! This time of final products in their packaging.
Thanks everyone!
