Catan is a strategic game that involves building settlements, roads, and cities on a board made up of hexagonal tiles representing different resources. The goal of the game is to be the first player to reach 10 victory points by trading resources with other players, building settlements and cities, and earning development cards that can give various advantages.
Ways to Play
Themed Catan Night: You can add a theme to your Catan night by incorporating costumes, decorations, and themed refreshments. For example, you could have a medieval-themed night with costumes and decorations that match the theme.
Speed Catan: You can play Catan with a time limit for each turn, which adds an extra level of excitement and competition to the game. This version is great for people who love fast-paced games.
Giant Catan: Take the game to the next level by creating a giant version of the board game. You can make your own board game by drawing it out on a large piece of cardboard or foam board. This is a great outdoor activity and works well for group events.
Catan Tournament: You can organize a tournament-style Catan game night with brackets and a prize for the winner. This is a great way to bring out the competitive spirit in everyone and keep everyone engaged throughout the night.
Catan Drinking Game: You can create a drinking game version of Catan by incorporating rules that involve taking a drink when a certain event happens in the game. For example, players can take a drink every time someone rolls a 7.
Catan Roleplaying Game: You can create a roleplaying version of Catan by assigning different roles and responsibilities to each player. For example, you can assign players to be the Mayor, Sheriff, and Banker of the town. Players will have to use their role to influence the game and make decisions that will affect the outcome.
