5-6 Player Extensions
To all the fellow CATAN folks, you spoke, and we listened. Today we are announcing several additional items for the Kickstarter campaign. 5-6 Player Extensions have been added! There is one extension for each of the primary tiers. This will include frame extenders, new tiles, a new full set of tokens, player markers, and two additional ports!
You will want six-player sets if you are now playing with six players.
We have unlocked the two additional metal civilizations early, so you can now get six!
Additionally, We have added TWO new stretch goal metal classic player sets that will be unlocked at $350k.
You asked for Cities and Knights and Seafarers, but that will be the next Kickstarter. But we can create two new casino-style dice sets that pay homage to these sets. We have added these as the final stretch goals.
Next week we plan to announce and show our CATAN carry bag. We are still working out the final details, but it is coming.
Thank you all so much for your incredible support!
A word from Neal Hoffman & Guido Tueber!
Metal CATAN Cards and a new tier!

Friends,
Originally, the MasterPiece Series was not scoped to have cards, but you asked for them, and the CATAN team was gracious enough to allow us to introduce three special METAL bonus cards to the project.
Images are prototypes and subject to small changes
You can now add these premium metal versions of the CATAN Largest Army, Longest Road and Harbormaster cards. These cards are full-size and have a feel similar to pins. The cards will be available for $10 each or $25 for all three!
New "Essentials" Tier
We have also added a new limited-edition "Essentials" tier for those who want everything they need to upgrade their home set. Just bring your cards!
Stay tuned, we will be making new product announcements every week. More unlocks are being added and the 5-6 expansion sets are in development and will be introduced before the end of the campaign!
Hope you are enjoying the ride!
A quarter of a million dollars!

We did it! We just hit $250,000!
Thank you to each and every one of you who has supported our Catan Masterpiece Series – we've cracked the $250K milestone in just 3 days! The reactions have been incredible, and we are beyond excited about what's to come. We realize how few campaigns hit this milestone and hope our appreciation is coming through loud and clear!
What's unlocked: You unlocked the Silver Classic Color (thanks for your feedback!) and we're working hard to add a 4th metal color – stay tuned for that announcement next week! We are also talking to the factories about the possibilities of adding a 5th and 6th metal color for those of you clamoring for expansions.
What’s next: Speaking of expansions. We’re diving into development for 5-6 Player Expansions for Woodcutter, Artisan, and Stonecutter/Noble tiers! These will include: 10 discs, 11 hexes, 2 ships, 4 frame extenders, and (fingers crossed!) Player 1 & Player 2 pieces! We’re working around the clock on developing the frames, packaging, and costing framework.
-note the only downside of this, it does not allow for mixing and matching between resin and wood for expansions (i.e. if you get wood frames and resin hexes)...if you think this is an issue, please let us know. We are trying to solve the expansion issue for as many combinations as possible while minimizing complexity and cost. Please bear with us as we push ahead!
Storage/Carry Solutions – We’re also working on a storage solution and will share details soon! The lead option right now is a high end duffel bag to carry all your Masterpeice Series items and it can accommodate the many variations that people are selecting.
Your feedback has been amazing. It is helpful and encouraging and has made all our hard work worth it.
We can’t wait to bring you even more incredible updates as we continue the journey! The next Stretch Goal is 275K and unlocks the Strawberry Quartz Gemstone Robber!
Stay tuned for more updates regarding the carry bag and expansion sets. We are working out the details and are about 10 days away from announcing.

Wow, $150,000 and two unlocks already done! We are so thankful for the community to supporting this ambitous project and we are listening to your feedback. We are happy, but not satisfied and always looking to improve, so keep sharing your thoughts, we appreciate it!
From today I heard three main things that we are going to address
At the Noble Tier, we will work on a storage solution for all of the individual boxes.
We are looking into 4 different metal classic options for those who want to complete their set
You want 5-6 player expansion options! We didn't plan for this and are working behind the scenes to try and make this happen before the end of the campaign. I'm hopeful we can get this done.
For those who supported so far, thank you. Please share the campaign with the people you play with and we will keep unlocking more and more options! Thank you to CEO Guido Teuber for his kind words and video, we hope we did your family proud!
