With the successful launch of the new edition of The Settlers of Catan, we're been receiving a lot of feedback on the new edition. The overwhelming majority of it has been positive, but there has been some confusion about the differences between 3rd and 4th edition sets, and specifically the ability to combine them together.
So, we have a new addition to our FAQ:
Q: Can I use my 3rd edition pieces with the 4th edition sets?
A:
As has been stated, the tiles are the same size between the two
editions, so anything designed to work with 3rd edition tiles should
continue to work with 4th edition sets. However, because the new set
comes with a frame for the new board (replacing the water tiles), you
will be unable to play Catan: Seafarers using 4th Edition base and 3rd
Edition Seafarers (4th edition Seafarers includes only the water tiles
necessary to add with the frame pieces included).
The resource
cards have the same backs as 3rd Edition, but the development cards
have changed backs. This means that you cannot mix the cards from 3rd
Edition 5-6 Player Extensions and 4th Edition base sets (and vice
versa).
