Catan – Trade, Build and Settle the Island 🏝️🌾

Every roll brings resources, every deal sparks a conversation – Catan is the trading and building board game that gets the whole table talking.

In this strategy board game for 3 to 4 players aged 10 and up, you settle a new island built from hexagonal terrain tiles. Roll the dice, collect wood, brick, wool, grain and ore, then build roads, settlements and cities. The first player to reach 10 victory points wins.

🎲 Dice Decide the Harvest

Each roll tells every player whose land produces. Settle next to good numbers and the resources keep coming – even on other players' turns.

🤝 Trade Your Way Forward

"Two wool for one ore?" Bargain with the other players or trade with the bank and harbours to get what you are missing.

🏘️ Roads, Settlements, Cities

Grow from two settlements into a network of roads and cities. Longest Road and Largest Army bring bonus points.

🗺️ A New Island Each Time

The terrain tiles are laid out fresh for every game, so the strongest spots change and so does your plan.
