This week I added the 2024 Family Edition to my Catan collection.
The Family Edition is a stand-alone version of the base game and cannot be combined with the other major Catan expansions. It is possible to use some smaller add-ons such as "The Helpers."
While the Family Edition has changed little over the years, there have still been quite a few releases. Below are the non-expandable versions of Catan I have in my collection:

The box shows a circular board, but the actual board is square. The traditional Catan shaped buildings are well shaped and use a smart looking plastic.Timeline created using EB Timeline.
