Unpopular opinion: I chose the original 1995 Catan box art over the new edition for my shelf.

Everyone at my local group said the new art was cleaner, but the old one just feels right, like a worn-in game board. Has anyone else picked the 'worse' version just because it felt more authentic?

Totally get that, my old Monopoly board is a stained mess but I love it.

Monopoly boards are meant to look worn out. Shows they've been used. The stains are proof of good times. You're right to love it, foster.jordan. A perfect board is a sad board. It means no one ever played it.

My friend's board got a coffee stain and she threw it out. Is a stained game really proof of fun, or just proof of a clumsy player? Maybe a clean board just means people put their drinks on a coaster.
