My Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 can no longer run Cricut Designer and claims it needs to be updated. How can I do that?

hello I have a macOS Sierra 10.12.6 I am trying to use an app called cricut design space however I am unable to because it requires a maOS 10.13 or newer ...why isn't this version available for my Mac and does this mean i cannot use this app ever on my computer? I used to be able to but now I can't.
