The Settlers of Catan was one of the first German-style board games to achieve popularity outside of Europe.[1] By 2009, over 15 million games in the Catan series had been sold.[2] The game has been translated into 30 languages.[2] It is popular in the United States where it has been called "the board game of our time" by The Washington Post.[3] A 2012 American documentary film titled Going Cardboard (featuring Klaus Teuber) is about this game's impact on American gaming communities and what came of it. Gameplay[edit] The players in the game represent settlers establishing colonies on the island of Catan.
Players build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island. Players build by spending resources (brick, lumber, wool, grain, and ore), represented by resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource. The goal of the game is to reach 10 victory points. The Settlers of Catan series[edit] Catanimals[edit]
