Catan 3D Game Tiles
ABOUT
Settlers of Catan is one of my favorite board-games and like most tabletop games, it’s constructed with laminated cardboard. While this is sufficient to play the game, I want to do it justice by handcrafting gorgeous hexagon tiles featuring miniature landscapes frozen in time with liquid resin.
THE GAME
For those unfamiliar with the game board, it’s composed of 19 hexagon land tiles encompassed by six interlocking ocean tiles. The land tiles butt up against one another, but do not interlock and come in six types: wood (4), brick (4), sheep (4), wheat (3), rocks (3), and sand (1). Respectively, each type is depicted in an image as a forest, clay mine, grassy field, wheat crop, mountain, and a desert. If you look closely, each scene is slightly different which is a nice attention to detail by the game designers.

| Game Piece | Quantity | Imagery | Shape |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logs (alias: wood) | 4 | forest / wooded area | hexagon |
| Brick (alias: clay) | 4 | clay strip mine | hexagon |
| Sheep (alias: wool) | 4 | grassy field | hexagon |
| Wheat | 3 | wheat crop field | hexagon |
| Rocks | 3 | rocky mountain | hexagon |
| Desert | 1 | sandy desert | hexagon |
| Ocean | 6 | beach with ocean | one edge of hexagon (interlocking) |
THE IDEA
Design hexagon tiles for each resource type using miniature woodland, mountains, and crops scenery.
