So, is this the 3rd or 4th edition?

I do believe it is fourth however; there is not much difference between the third and the fourth editions.

I don't know for sure, there is nothing that says what edition but all of the series for Settlers of Catan and the Seafarers start with a "3" so maybe that means 3rd edition. I'm sorry I'm not much help on this.

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.

It depends where you buy it, and if its new/used. Though mines is a used game, it came with the manual booklet. You should be able to find out by the seller's description. I believe its the standard gold edition

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

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

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.

You don't need 1st edition. The 2nd edition is a complete stand-alone replacement. There are a few mistakes in the rules regarding victory cities and scoring (at least in my copy). Avalon Hill has the errata posted online; I'm not sure if the corrections actually made it to print.

3.0 is a newer version, hasn't been sitting on the shelf as long. Both are discontinued.

I am not sure if there is a way to tell from the package the one i purchased was 4th edition, it still has the same great game quality.

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 don't know if it's the newest edition but I can tell you my game was made in 2011. I hope this info helps you.

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.

Hello Jim,I am sorry, we currently only have the 3.0 left. I wish you luck in your search! Mary C., Fair Play

I started with the second edition and had no hiccups so I would say no. It is just a revision not an expansion.

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.

No, I believe this is just the add on. You're better off finding an all inclusive edition if you dont have the originals already.
