5 out of 5 starsIf you have the game or are contemplating getting it, then get the expansion pack too. This game board is fantastic! The resources are easily recognizable and the colors are vivid. The pieces are sturdy, so I expect it to last for many years. Also, the shipment was extremely quick, much faster than what the expected date indicated, and the seller was very responsive to my inquiries. I bought the game, plus expansion pack, and the wood box. They are all gorgeous! I definitely recommend purchasing these items!

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!

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.
Delivery Times (USPS)
Due to various circumstances outside our control, the USPS is warning of extended delivery times. If you would like to guarantee faster shipping, please contact us for shipping upgrades. We thank you for your patience in these difficult times!
