Catan Magnetic Hex Base
My family loves games, and Settlers of Catan has become a favorite. At our house, we love the adventure and strategy, the time together and the intense competition! Once you build this board enough times, you appreciate the additional tools—enter a local maker who’s come up with magnetic pieces to house the base pieces of the board. We’re also a big fan of the golden custom traveling trophy! Available through Facebook Marketplace or Etsy.com/Shop/HuskerKCGuy.
