As of October 2014, is this the first or second printing of the 4th Edition? The 2nd printing has the missing arrows on the board error corrected.

Every vendor is probably going to have different copies of the game. It is most likely the fourth edition but you would have to ask the individual sellers not those who have already bought it.

I think I have the second edition Plus the factions expansion I think they are out with a fourth edition this year and a new expansion is coming out DEC this year. I don't think the faction expansion is worth it I hardly ever play it. If you need more info go to www.boardgamegeek.com

My guess, (and it's ONLY a guess!) is that it would be the 2nd printing. It seems as if the entire 1st printing of the 4th edition was spoken for in pre-sales. Personally, I would go to Game Salute's website and ask them directly...maybe they could give you a definitive answer.

there was only a diagram (sketchy at best) with mine...why don't you email them and ask for them to send you a scanned version? Sorry I'm not more helpful!

I don't know for certain, as I bought this and the expansion both in second edition. I imagine they improved a few things and made the pieces all usable in the same box (for when you have the original and the expansion). The expansion actually comes with pitri dishes for the diseases and a good molded compartment for each pieces of both sets.Honestly not sure what was different in first edition though. I read somewhere that the box was not as good, but I am sure there were other changes as well.

You might have it upside down. I usually print two copies to test if it's in the copier drawer correctly before I do a big batch. Hope this helps

I've opened 4 copies and haven't seen that issue. Could be a print-run issue. Are they visible from the top?

That's kind of a messy question. They are redoing a Dark Vengeance for 7th edition, but this listing appears to be the one for 6th. So, it exists, but I'd be careful on where you buy it from.

There are only two English versions that exist: the first edition published by Nexus, and the second edition published by Fantasy Flight Games. Chances are that anyone calling it a deluxe edition is referring to the 2nd. And if you're buying the game new, it's almost certainly the same [2nd] edition. The differences between the two are the 2nd has better components, better rules, and is readily available for purchase.

The second edition is a better more detailed first edition. No you don't need the first edition.

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/ It says that it is two editions thus implying two different versions. Sorry that nobody replied to this. Kind of rude isn't it?

Yes, generally there is a noticeable difference between the 3rd and 4th editions of Catan in two ways: 1) The artwork is very different so your tiles will not look the same, depending on how much that matters to you. Personally, I'd rather have them match. 2) And this could present a more series problem. The 4th ed. of the base game has a different border which locks together. I know it doesn't work well with the 3rd ed. of the base game so I'm guessing you could have some problems here as well. It is a nice improvement to the game in that it holds things together nicely, but it does present compatibility problems with earlier editions. Hope this helps!

I have not owned the first edition of the game, but from what I understand after a lot of research before I purchased was that it is basically the same game. Some inconsistencies were corrected and the characters were designed slightly differently, but it is basically the exact same game. Just updated slightly.

I got a second printing. I actually got it though my local gaming store, here in Kalamazoo. Fanfare, www.fanfare-se.com

This version is only available in English in North America. I will request that the image be corrected. Update: I have been informed that the image has been corrected. I do appreciate your letting me know about this problem. With thousands of products, this type of problem is easy to miss. Dave Boardgames4us

This is not the 4th edition. The one I received was the first edition from the original Kickstarter campaign. I still had to purchase the factions pack 1 and the upgraded plastic components. (The plastic domes, rocket VP trackers, and the three plastic components for the repulsor field, isolation field and the positron field) However, there is a new kickstarter campaign that includes the new 4th edition with the new Rocket dice. You might want to check that out! Hope this is helpful. I really do enjoy this game. Simply a fantastic system and enjoyed by all whom ever I teach it to.

Offhand I have no idea. I purchased mine about 6 months ago and the instructions looked like a first edition run. Contacting the seller may give you the specifics as to what they have in stock. There are some vagaries in the rules, but I found online errata to help with any confusion.

Not an expert, but I read the hex size and game pieces remain the same. Only the rules changed a bit with the 5th edition.

Box graphics are 6th edition, i bought this and it was 6th, would think 7th DV would have new part number and description etc
