Is this the 4th edition, which includes animeeples?

I believe my edition is the 3rd addition 2008, and I have wooden blocks for my animals. Look at http://boardgamegeek.com/ for discussions on the editions. I know they are up to the 7th edition but it is in German only and from what I hear the German edition need a few changes that were already in the other language translated editions. Hope that helps.

Yes, it does include animeeples. Not sure where it says 4th edition but I see a 2013 on the back.

The Copyright On the Box says 2013. All I see for editions is "Ultimate Edition" The only difference may be that it includes Urban Legends expansion pack.

I don't see 1st edition anywhere on the box, but it did come with the atomic breath.

I received it today. The alien on the box was wearing red so I believe mine is the second edition.

I received mine today (6/30/14) and it has the new pieces and 2 sided board to support rocket dice. 2013 copyright date. So yes 4th edition.

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!

actually, I bought this model for my friend. so, I did not what is inside. But, I think these 6 stocks belong to the first edition. This model has been reproduced. The second edition will be released in August.

Hi! It means there is a more recent edition available, but this one is still fully functional. This one is the 7.0 upgrade which was first available in 2002. The platforms it called for when originally produced were Windows NT / 98 / 2000 / Me / XP / 95. I believe it's the last one they made before it became the CD versions. I don't know a lot more about it than that unfortunately. The copy I am offering is brand new - still shrinkwrapped. I hope this answers your questions.

The one i purchased for my son at Christmas was definitely the reprinted 2nd Edition. It came with the card deck and other improvements for the Mexico map.

It comes with 4.2, but they can always be updated if you know what you are doing.

Mine was first edition, but I purchased it in August 2013. It came with 5 faces and has a sticker stating it's 1st edition. The one on sale now is a resale edition and has 3 faces, and doesn't include the crying or winking face.

I just received the 2nd edition of Factions which includes the new, 4th compatible, colonies. The second edition cones in a square box rather than the rectangular one shown in the item listing.

Numerical seems like a good approach(1 then 2 and so on). The expansions contain no content that requires a previous expansion. There are 'themed' expansions that do not have a number but are associated with time period or some such thing ( I bought the 90's expansion and the first two 'regular'). So there is no real order required, any set will mix well with the original edition.

I don't believe they reprinted Factions with the 4th Edition. However, it should be usable with the newer edition printing. Some symbol changes on the 4th Ed board may not match up. But, the functionality should be the same.

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.

I don't know what the deal is with the 2nd edition.. it says Copyright 2004 on the box.. but the other catch phrase game doesn't say 2nd edition, yet it says Copyright 2009.

Has been reprinted and is available for $125 from Games Workshop or even cheaper from OLGS. Also the new 4th edition has extra parts and missions. it is everything they are selling here for over double the cost with more stuff.
