CATAN is the original strategy board game. Get ready for the incredibly fun and adventurous game loved around the world. CATAN is an easy-to-learn board game for family and friends that anyone can play! Since the release of CATAN (at that time still The Settlers of CATAN) in 1995, the game has developed into a modern classic board game that is available worldwide in over 40 languages. To date, over 40 million games have been sold. With numerous extensions and additions, everyone can create their own personal gaming experience and immerse themselves in the world of CATAN. Trade, build, and settle your way across CATAN! Your adventurous settlers seek to tame the remote but rich isle of CATAN. Start by revealing CATAN\'s many harbors and regions: pastures, fields, mountains, hills, forests, and deserts. The random mix creates a different board in virtually every session, making the perfect board game for adults and kids. No two games are the same! Embark on a quest to settle the isle of CATAN! Guide your settlers to victory through clever trading and cunning development. Use resource combinations - grain, wool, ore, brick, and lumber - to buy handy development cards and build roads, settlements, and cities. Acquire your resources through trades, cards, or lucky dice (even outside your turn). But beware, someone might cut off your road or buy a monopoly. And you never know when the wily robber might steal some of your precious gains. Now you can settle CATAN with up to 6 players. If you want to play the CATAN base game with 5 or 6 players, just add this base game extension. CATAN is loved by families and recommended for kids ages 10 or older.
