The Legacy Continues

Originally released as The Settlers of Catan in 1995 by Klaus Teuber, CATAN sparked a global board game revolution. With over 25 language editions and countless expansions, it’s a staple of game nights and classrooms alike. The 6th Edition honours that history while introducing thoughtful updates that reflect how gaming and the world has evolved. CATAN 6th Edition is available at local game stores and major retailers around the country, including JB HiFi.
