Based on the price, this couldn't be anything BUT the 4th edition! I spent a long time looking for this game, (before it had been reprinted) and any of the previous editions were going for well over $100 based on their rarity. Get it while you can!

the box that I received said version 3.0, but I don´t have an idea how to check it is true.

I just bought one and it is not. Ask before you buy. Usually 2.4 is an "extra"

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.

My seller gave me the 2013 version and when I inquired they said that there are multiple editions and pictures shown in the product pictures and that the sellers specify which one they're selling. Except none of them actually do specify.

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'm using it on the 2014 edition, not sure how different they are from each other

No it is not. I wrote that review quite awhile ago. It may be the date I did the review. I am buying and using the product.

Hi Eileen, Well, according to a post on BoardGameGeek, my copy is 1st Edition ( 2012 ). The 2nd Edition is supposed to be available in Europe and soon in the States. Hope that helps! Scott D.

in the description, it says v2.0....however i do not know how to actually test it. Im thinking it is the latest version of v1.4 and not actually v2.0. v2.0 is brand new to the market

The second edition is just a revised and improved version of the first. The rules, I believe, are exactly the same. You will be fine starting with the second edition.

You fill in the dates yourself. So it can be 2014 or 2015. You can also buy new pages for it.

I don't use 2010 but I have Publisher 2000 and there is not a lot of difference between those two. You do get more templates. But to buy 2013 if you already have 2010, I don't think you will get that much more.

Version 4 is now available. Blueirissoftware.com If you purchased after 12/1 you can get a free upgrade...otherwise its half price.

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.
