Title: You know you want one!
Product review: I recently played Catan with my friend's special edition set for the very time, and it is indeed a wondrous sight to behold! I will go with the adage that a picture is worth a thousand words and post photos of some of the details of this set instead of launching into a written description; in a nutshell, the board and game pieces are absolutely beautifully crafted. I agree with other reviewers that the main downsides are: 1) can't expand this to include 5+ players (unless one buys a second set and uses the brown and green game pieces from the standard set -- hmmm...) and can't incorporate expansions such as Seafarers and 2) the number chits are very hard to see and rest awkwardly on the land hexes (I think next time I will try using the standard number chits -- at least they are a bit smaller and will be easier to see). Otherwise, this special edition set really enhances the Catan playing experience!
