Catan Studio and Asmodee have announced a new title in the Catan series, as Catan – On the Road will be released this Spring.

You can read more about it below as the game will launch on April 3.

Catan – On the Road

Catan involves players building, trading, and planning their way to victory as they grow a shared island through smart resource choices and negotiation. On The Road keeps that core experience intact with a fast, portable design that enables play in new and interesting places and ways. In Catan – On the Road, players are working to reach seven victory points first, using many familiar mechanics from Catan with a little twist: Collecting resources by drawing cards, building from a shared pool of available options, and trading with either the bank or each other. Trade is incentivized even more in this game: The player who is not actively taking their turn gets to draw a bonus resource card for participating in a trade.

"On The Road gives players a great Catan experience in a fast, fresh format," said Benjamin and Guido Teuber, Co-CEOs of Catan GmbH. "Playing exclusively using cards makes On the Road easy to bring along wherever you go, and we hope it creates a great new gateway into our broader game portfolio for new players."

"We were looking for a fun way to experience the joy of the Catan board game in an easy-to-learn and fast-to-play card game and came up with this new design which includes all the important Catan elements of harvesting, trading, and building," said Benjamin Teuber, Co-CEO and the game's designer at Catan GmbH. "I especially enjoy the tweak to trading, which makes this important aspect of Catan into a whole new experience!"
