Catan Universe

Catan Universe brings the Catan board game, the Catan card game, expansions and CATAN – Rise of the Inkas together in one digital game. You settle an uncharted island alongside other explorers by building roads and cities and trading. You can compete with friends, AI opponents or players around the world.

The board game

The basic board game supports multiplayer matches for up to three players, including you and two friends, in the challenges of “Arrival on Catan.” The full basic game and the “Cities & Knights” and “Seafarers” expansions support up to six players each. The “Enchanted Land” and “The Great Canal” scenarios add further challenges.

In Rise of the Inkas, your settlements decline after reaching their height as the jungle swallows the signs of civilization. Your opponents can then take the opportunity to build settlements where they want.

The card game

“Catan – The Duel,” also known as “Rivals for Catan,” is a two-player card game. You can play its introductory game online against another player, or complete the “Arrival on Catan” challenges to unlock the single-player mode against AI. The complete card game adds three theme sets to play with friends, other players or AI opponents.

Challenges and community

“Arrival on Catan” challenges you to master different areas of the game to earn red Catan suns. These let you play against the computer, while yellow suns recharge on their own. The game also includes seasons, achievements with unlockable rewards, player avatars, chat and guilds. A tutorial introduces the game.

Your Catan Universe account lets you play across supported desktop and mobile devices, with purchases linked to your account.
