Small update on my handmade 3D Catan board
Hi everyone,
a while ago I shared my handmade 3D Catan board, and I received a lot of kind comments and questions about it. Since some people asked for more photos and details, I thought I’d post a small update.
This time, I included a short video showing what the board looks like in use and how the playing pieces and number tokens can be placed on it.
The board is fully playable, but I would still say that the visual aspect is the main focus. It is meant to feel more like a miniature landscape, so the handling is naturally a bit less practical than with a flat board. You just have to be a little more careful when placing roads, settlements, cities, and number tokens.
A few people also asked whether all the small details would break during an actual game. From my experience: not really. We’ve already played quite a few games on it, and as long as you handle it with a bit of care, nothing breaks. Even if you accidentally touch a small tree or another detail, it holds up just fine.
I also tracked the building time more accurately this time. The full board took a little over 30 hours to build.
I’m still really happy with how it turned out, especially because it keeps the classic Catan feeling while making the island feel more like a real little world.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
What would be most important to you in a 3D board like this? Maximum realism, easy handling during gameplay, durability, or staying close to the classic Catan look?
Looking forward to your feedback 😊
