Rivals for Catan
A Catan card duel: build your province with dice-driven resources and race to the victory points.
Who it's for
Couples or friends who love Catan and want a two-player version that fits on a small table. Great for a relaxed evening.
Not for you if…
You need more than two players or a classic Catan board. Dice swings can matter, and it's a different game from the big one.
Vibe's take
Cozy and competitive with a Catan-style dice rhythm. Each roll creates a small cheer or groan, while your province quietly takes shape.
About this game
A two-player card game in the world of Catan, built from the original Catan Card Game but simplified so newcomers can jump in. Each of you is a prince of Catan building a province from settlements and roads. You roll a die to see which regions produce resources, collect wool, grain, ore and more, and spend them on new buildings, units and expansions. The first to reach the victory-point target wins. It keeps the feel of Catan, the dice-fueled tension and the trading mood, but squeezed into a 60-minute duel at the kitchen table, with no board and no extra players needed.
