5 out of 5 starsPurchased the entire set, including expansion set and wooden box for Father's Day gift from the kids. My husband loved it, and will definitely be a family keepsake that our kids will remember when they play with their own families one day. Craftsmanship is beautiful - thank you!!

5 out of 5 starsPurchased the 1/4 inch Birch Plywood 3-4 Player wooden Catan Game Board, personalized along with the 5-6 player expansion and the Birch Game Box for holding the game and accessories. See also the post for the 3/4 player game. We have been desiring a wooden Catan game board for a while. The feature that I really like with BoardGenius is the quality and craftsmanship. The piece fit nicely, the numbers are part of the board versus sitting on top of the resources, and the edges keep the game island in tack if it gets "accidentally bumped". Good value for the money.

About TheBoardGenius
Catan or Rocket Science?
I have played Catan for many years, but have always been frustrated by the standard board. One day a friend and I decided to make a laser-cut/laser-engraved board for ourselves. After finding a laser that could do the job, we spent many hours/days/months perfecting the board. After several years, and numerous "do you sell these?" questions, I finally decided to try and actually sell them. And that's how The Board Genius was born!
Even though my day job is in aerospace engineering, I've always enjoyed doing creative and artistic projects, especially working with wood. I also enjoy getting friends together for board game nights or the occasional LAN party.
It's been a lot of work putting together The Board Genius, but it's also been lots of fun and very rewarding! I hope that I can continue to do this for a long time!

Just passed the two year anniversary of working at The Board Genius and haven't looked back; I do whatever needs to be done around the lab with the laser cutter or at the spray booth. Outside this, I go to university and watch all the movies I can.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
We do not do custom orders aside from the personalized engraving and the red numbers for our plywood sets. Every piece is made with lots of attention and detail, with a long process from start to finish, so it would simply take too much time to design a new piece!
5-6 player boards
Our 5-6 player expansion sets are compatible with our 3-4 player ones, but they do not include the 3-4 base set. In order to get the full 5-6 set, you will need to order BOTH the 3-4 and 5-6.
