Details? I'd be interested to hear what the gaming community has to say about it.

basically take routes, and more routes, and more routes. return anything in Tokyo. use your 20 trains to connect your destinations to the bullet train network as most of it is going to get built any way...
It's a strategy but one the second player has to follow...It gets stupid quick

In other news, it seems DOW is releasing an Anniversary version of Europe. If you havent bought Europe yet, this is the the one to get.

You can also get the anniversary edition as a bit of an investment - they don't reprint these, and the 10th
anniversary edition (2014) of the original game is now worth far more than MSRP on the secondary market:

(I think MSRP was $100. Note that those numbers are prices actually paid, not unsold $500 eBay/Amazon listings.)

I haven't watched the video. A discussion on differences from a similar product made in 2005:

You know the style of puzzles made popular by ThinkFun (the Rush Hour series might be most well-known)?
There's going to be a Catan-flavored one:
https://www.catan.com/news/2021-06-04/catanr-logic-puzzle-announced-mixlore

(And a Ticket to Ride-themed one, also from that company:

Das Wasser des Lebens ("The Water of Life") is a re-theming of Settlers of Catan issued in partnership with the Glen Grant Distillery Company. The game itself is basically identical, but the theme is centered around Scotch whisky production. As Scottish Highlanders, players collect wood, stones, barley, peat, and clear spring water. With these materials they build roads and distilleries. The all too familiar robber from Settlers of Catan has become the "oppressive force".

Das Wasser des Lebens features all new artwork and is packaged in the same metal cylinder that each bottle of Glen Grant Whisky ships in. As a final added bonus, the game even includes a small bottle of Glen Grant Whisky for the players to enjoy after a hard day in the fields.

There are a few copies for sale here. (They're not cheap, and that's before you add shipping from Germany.)

Get hyped (no idea when the release is expected):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catan:_World_Explorers

Update: Cancelled.

It’s not entirely clear what’s to blame for the shutdown, though the developers says that adapting the trading, harvesting, and building Catan is known for on a real-life (or at least AR layered on top of real-life) game board proved to be a challenge. “We got a little too complicated and a little too far from the original Catan game,” the developers write.

In other news, "The Settlers of Catan will become a holographic AR board game in early 2023."
