CATAN® - On the Road: A New Card Game Experience

CATAN fans, rejoice! CATAN GmbH and CATAN Studio have unveiled a fresh and exciting adaptation of the classic game - introducing CATAN® - On the Road™. Launching in retail stores on April 3, this card game variant is designed for both devoted players and newcomers who crave a fast-paced gaming experience.

As the name suggests, CATAN - On the Road offers a new spin on the renowned multiplayer strategy game that has captivated tabletop enthusiasts for over two decades. With gameplay that promises to be both easy to grasp and swift to execute, the new card game is perfect for players looking for a portable gaming option without sacrificing the depth of strategy that CATAN is known for.

Quick and Convenient Gameplay

In just 15 minutes, players can immerse themselves in a vibrant world of resources, trade, and strategy. At a friendly price of $9.99 USD, this game aims to provide all the fun and excitement of a traditional CATAN session while catering to the on-the-go lifestyle of modern gamers. The compact card format allows players to take the game wherever they please, making it an ideal choice for travel and casual gatherings.

The objective of CATAN - On the Road remains familiar: players aim to be the first to amass seven victory points. However, this iteration features a few innovative tweaks. Players will collect resources by drawing cards, building from a shared pool of options, and trading with either the bank or one another. A notable addition is the trading incentive, which rewards players who are not actively taking their turn; they will draw bonus resource cards when they participate in a trade, enhancing interaction and strategy among participants.

A Fast-Paced Fun Format

Co-CEOs Benjamin and Guido Teuber expressed their excitement for this new installment, emphasizing that “On The Road offers a fantastic CATAN experience in a fresh, speedy format.” The game incorporates classic elements familiar to CATAN fans, like harvesting and trading, while ensuring that the essence of player interaction and strategic planning remains intact.

“The goal was to create an accessible, fun, and fast way to experience the beloved CATAN board game through a card game format,” added Benjamin Teuber, designer of the game and co-CEO of CATAN GmbH. “I particularly enjoy the innovative twist to trading, adding a new dimension to this essential aspect of CATAN.”

With more than 45 million copies sold across over 100 markets since its original launch in 1995, CATAN has solidified its status as a contemporary classic in the realm of board gaming. This latest release is a testament to the brand’s enduring popularity and adaptability, with a dedicated international team committed to honoring the vision of the late Klaus Teuber, who crafted this influential game.

Bringing CATAN Everywhere

CATAN - On the Road truly enables players to take the CATAN experience on the go, whether it's a picnic in the park, a family gathering, or a weekend getaway. It promises to deliver the same engaging gameplay that enthusiasts love, packaged in a portable, fast, and engaging format.
