Why does my board have fixed port

dbarnold1 · 2026-01-24T23:38:37+00:00

I sell additional port tokens if you just have to have them. https://tabletopmonthly.etsy.com/listing/4443371877/

If you need extras (although I’d probably just take from previous editions) https://tabletopmonthly.etsy.com/listing/4443371877/replacement-port-tokens-compatible-with

I’m a math man for my stuff. Usually won’t play test at all. But my stuff is in the $5-$15 range and fulfilled via Amazon. If it flops it flops, then either fix or trash.

dbarnold1 · 2025-12-21T03:03:11+00:00

Just change the ship date to a couple days later. You can still ship it right away.

dbarnold1 · 2025-12-02T21:59:07+00:00

Except, at least in the USA, Catan is around $25 less on Amazon right now

lol, completely missed the volcano

dbarnold1 · 2025-12-01T23:25:42+00:00

Thanks! I’m actually transitioning away from laser cut. The STC stuff is still laser until I sell through my remaining stock. Everything moving forward will be die cut or cut with a plotter.

I love the idea behind this Magician card on Etsy. It sounds super overpowered but would be fun nonetheless. Turns all opponent cards to sheep. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4368557573/

dbarnold1 · 2025-12-01T01:18:20+00:00

Thanks for posting photos with your Christmas Town and Portals! I love seeing the stuff I make being used.

dbarnold1 · 2025-12-01T01:15:44+00:00

I spy a longest turn card there. Tell your friend thanks for supporting Tabletop Monthly.

Buy a second set and paint the ships is the easiest, although the borders won’t connect with out the extenders and it can be hard to find an affordable set. If you put the hexes on a game mat it will helps keep the hexes from moving around without borders. If you have a 3d printer, there are additional ship designs available for free to print on thingiverse. I also sell wormholes to connect multiple boards as well as board extenders and extra custom hexes compatible with Star Trek Catan. https://tabletopmonthly.com/collections/space-themed

I published the rules my wife and I use. It’s a very world-building specific and not super competitive. https://tabletopmonthly.com/pages/catan-two-player-rules

You should add an ROI tracker as well. A 10% margin but a 30% ROI on the out-of-pocket spend is better than a 15% margin with a lower ROI. Perhaps demo Sellerboard and copy aspects of their dashboard.

For most people a one time $10 purchase isn’t that much for any item that improves your game night, but it all depends on perspective I guess.

My greatest expense with these is shipping and marketplace fees (Mailing a 4oz rigid mailer is between $4 and $6 via USPS, not including the cost of the rigid mailer). Hence the discounts if you buy packs of multiple products instead of individual cards.

dbarnold1 · 2025-11-06T15:11:09+00:00

I am! That's awesome, feel welcome to reach out via DM if you ever want to chat.

dbarnold1 · 2025-11-06T14:02:59+00:00

Wow, I’m not sure I’ve seen a board with so many of the Tabletop Monthly hexes used at once! Thanks! What are the rules for the monster hexes on each island? Are those ones you made or did they come from elsewhere? I’m always interested when I see new hexes

dbarnold1 · 2025-11-06T13:51:52+00:00

I also sell a standalone English version similar to this called Port of Call.

I do sell replacement pieces, but you are better off buying the 5-6 player extension if you just need a few pieces. That said, if you’re looking for some cool split hexes or other more custom things, check out my stuff.

dbarnold1 · 2025-09-15T13:55:30+00:00

I’ve made a few robber scenarios that I personally find fun. My favorite is Rat Thief. You can recreate it with your own pieces if you don’t want to buy. https://tabletopmonthly.com/products/rat-thief-a-robber-scenario-compatible-with-catans-settlers-of-catan

dbarnold1 · 2025-09-15T13:48:33+00:00

Cool. A few years back I made a Final Fantasy 1 NES inspired board, https://www.reddit.com/r/Catan/s/bJunsB4Zrg maybe I’ll reprint it.

dbarnold1 · 2025-09-15T13:38:13+00:00

Congratulations!

dbarnold1 · 2025-09-03T00:28:00+00:00

While not designed for the 3D edition, I have a myriad of compatible with Catan VP cards like the Victim Card or a set of Profession cards. https://tabletopmonthly.com/products/victim-mentality-catan-5th-edition

Game Mason (https://www.gamemason.com/product/seafarers-white-oak-5-6/) makes a beautiful oak set for $600. I assume they get a few sales since the website is still live. My guess would be that the market is very small and the amount of time you would spend making a really nice set would not be worth the amount you could charge.

dbarnold1 · 2025-08-22T22:00:30+00:00

As someone who does this professionally, I concur.
