Players will be exploring their neighborhood to collect the classic CATAN resources: Lumber, Brick, Wool, Grain, and Ore. Some resources will be abundant in some regions, while other players have to trade for. Players will befriend and bargain with in-game Catanians and complete quests as you explore. Along with that players will have resources to craft. Building Cards that can be used to transform humble settlements into booming metropolises.
Team up with old friends (and make new ones) as players will have to strategically collect resources, expand settlements, and race for Victory Points. As players earn Victory Points, it will contribute to their Faction’s Global Score and personal Local Game.
