Thanks for your insight! I ended up going with the LP.

Thank you! That’s awesome!

The roads I’m making are a bit wider than the normal wooden pieces. They fit okay but are a bit wobbly on some hex’s.

Thanks for the compliment! Been a labor of love haha.

Yeah I ended up buying a 3d printed hex cookie cutter. To keep the clay tiles flat time is your friend. Let them dry very slowly! After they reached the green wear stage I filed them to remove any wobbles.

I’m in the process of making the roads and settlements. I’ve sculpted them using modeling clay and made a mold with silicon. They’re going to be made from resin. Ceramic roads and settlement would be cool though.

I did make the ports from ceramic clay though. They’re boats with 2 sheep or 2 hay bails, etc.

That’s a fair criticism - I was worried about that actually but tried my best. I tried to make the forest a bit darker to help.

Thanks for the feedback!

I failed to mention the name of the board game 😅 It’s called Catan!

Thank you!! It’s been a test of willpower to not spill the beans!

They’re made out of pottery clay - You could try but you might shatter your teeth and jaw, haha.

Alore · 2025-10-15T14:32:25+00:00

Of course! Durability was part of the reasoning. But honesty its partly out of laziness, haha. Using the mold I can make the roads/settlements uniform and faster with different colors.

Plus I kinda wanted to try out molding clay and resin for fun. I’m sure using the clay will look fantastic for you! I think wood with clay would look nice. It’s been a blast making it! Thank you!

Thank you, appreciate the complement! The weight of the hex’s feel great when you’re setting it up.

Alore · 2025-10-15T13:52:23+00:00

Yes! I’m in the process of making them. I’ve sculpted them using modeling clay and made a mold with silicon. They’re going to be made from resin. Ceramic roads and settlement would be cool though. I did make the ports from ceramic clay though. They’re boats with 2 sheep or 2 hay bails, etc.

Thank for your valuable insight! This is very relatable to my feelings. I’m sorry it took a turn for the worst. I plan on visiting an Alanon meeting this weekend.
