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!

Happy Autumn, everyone!
A quick update, our factory is finalizing the final samples and shipping all of them to us within the next week. We should receive all these samples within approximately 2 weeks, and then the Catan team will review! Once these are approved, they will proceed to production.
Surveys
We are still awaiting completion of several surveys. Please check your email for a request from Backerkit to confirm your order, customize your pledge, and give us your shipping info! I just sent a reminder, so you should have a fresh request for that info. If you have any questions or issues with this, you can contact [email protected] to request support.
More Sneak Peeks!

Just a quick update, we are building out the molds and getting final samples made as we speak. We are also finalizing all packaging.
Once that is done, we will send the final samples to the CATAN team to give their final approval and move to mass production.
More pics coming as things come together. The metal cards are looking incredible and cant wait to get them into your hands.
Delivery is on track for spring, but we are hoping to pull it in a bit earier if everything runs smoothly.
Any issue? Email neal@fanrolldice and we are happy to help!
