It’s been a long road to launch... Some might say the ‘Longest Road’! But CATAN – Console Edition is finally here! Whether you’re a fan of the iconic boardgame, a general fan of boardgames or just enjoy games you can play with your friends, CATAN – Console Edition has something for everyone!

Play with friends and family together around the couch, invite your friends to play online regardless of what console they own with cross-play, join a multiplayer game and get matched against players around the world, or sit back and play solo against the AI.

I think we all agree that CATAN is best played together ! And with the Card Companion on smartphones, friends can all gather around one TV without the risk of seeing the resources that others have. No app required! Simply scan the QR code in-game and follow the link.

Online play utilises cross-play to ensure you can play with others around the world from both PlayStation and Xbox platforms and solo players can enjoy life on the island by tackling the various AI characters based on CATAN lore that each have their own way of building and trading.

There’s also a host of challenges to complete in a game where no two boards are the same and players can customise their experience with Dice Skins and Hex Frames showcasing their skills to other players.

A staple among board game fans for almost 30 years, CATAN is played worldwide both at home and competitively in tournaments! With CATAN – Console Edition, you can become immersed in a board full of detail, set on the island of Catan and populated with characters gathering resources, sheep roaming their respective hexes and the Robber waiting for their moment to cause mischief. Ships occupy the surrounding harbours and Settlements and Cities appear as players continue to build and trade with one another. It’s a board game that comes to life!

Success on Catan comes from earning Victory Points, which can be gained in various ways including building the ‘Longest Road’ or amassing the ‘Largest Army’. Building Cities and Settlements also earn these points with the five key resources on the island needed to build and expand in the areas between the hexes.

Strategy is key to success and players will have to decide throughout each game whether to plough on with their own building, or work with their opponents, AI or real, by trading resources and moving the Robber in order to thwart others’ progress. Every game of CATAN provides a new experience and will test your strategic prowess!
