Struggle for Catan
Gather resources and build settlements, cities and knights in a fast, dice-less race to ten points.
The Catan world squeezed into a fast, dice-less multiplayer card game. You gather resources and spend them to build settlements, roads, cities, city improvements and knights, each worth victory points or special powers. Roads and knights can change hands mid-game, and the first to ten points wins.
Who it's for
Catan fans wanting the building loop in a quicker, portable multiplayer card format.
Not for you if…
You love the hex board, trading table talk and dice tension the original is built around.
Vibe's take
The build-and-race rhythm of Catan condensed into brisk card play, with roads and knights that can flip hands.
