CATAN® - Console Edition

System: Nintendo Switch Release date: 09/11/2023

Play the official video game of CATAN! Acquire resources, master new strategies, and build your settlements across a board that comes to life. Challenge your family and friends in your living room, on the move, or play against smart and dynamic AI to become the winning Catanian, then take these skills online with full cross-play compatibility!

Charmed by opportunity and the promise of faraway riches, you and a collection of likeminded adventurers abandon your homeland and livelihoods to discover new lands. After a long and arduous journey, fraught with danger and difficulty, you arrive at the shores of a lush land, untouched by humanity, and abundant in resources.

But you are not the first to set foot on this new island, there are others who are looking to thrive - and survive. Welcome to CATAN!

A board that comes to life

See each tile come to life as you grow your settlements and take over the board. Gather ore from towering mountains, collect wool from bustling pastures, or harvest lumber from thriving forests. No two games are the same, with variables boards each game will feel, look, and play different!

Play locally with family and friends

You can now play with up to 4 people locally! Using your smart phone, connect to the game to track your cards without your friends seeing what’s in your hand.

Game Modes & Rewards

Compete in intense multiplayer games as you put your strategies to the test against other Catanians from around the world with online cross-play, at home or on the go! Face the dynamic AI in single player who each have their own goals and unique play style for you to learn. Improve your skills and complete a variety of challenges throughout the seasons to unlock exciting in-game rewards.
