This 2016 "Work Hard Play Hard" box is a limited edition release from Slovenia.

I have no clue why the box lid is in English, but it is quite a unique look. Also interesting is that the set came with "retro" wooden pieces instead of the Euro plastic that were being used in the standard Slovenian sets since at least 2010.

Getting this set and at a good price would not have been possible without the help of fellow redditor u/Rich-Candidate-915. After my post asking for information on the set, they kindly made contact offering to help. After this came tracking a set down, negotiating a fair price, collecting and inspecting the set and then sending to my contact in Germany.

Once again I am so grateful and lucky to have Catan friends like this around the world.

The set is now on its way from Germany to the UK where it will be put in a suitcase to arrive back in NZ on 3 November.
