Description

"Catan", the legendary strategy game provides gaming fun anytime, anywhere.

True to the original game, you can compete with up to four players for the most settlements, the longest roads and the largest army. You can trade with each other and claim the precious land with all its resources.

Challenge other Catan fans online via cross-platform multiplayer to prove your strategy skills or play against the AI:
Various computer opponents, each with their own individual characteristics, will prove themselves worthy competitors: the pirate Jean, who knows no compromise, Vincent the merchant, who never allows himself to be cheated, Sean the knight, who takes what is rightfully his...

The popular Catan expansions "Seafarers", "Cities and Knights" and two new special scenarios are available as In-App purchases.

The complete Seafarers expansion includes more than 10 additional scenarios with an extensive campaign. Become Harbormaster, discover new islands and extra game elements like ships, gold fields, treasures and pirates. Ahoy!

The Cities and Knights expansion introduces various new gameplay mechanics that add even more variety to Catan. Invest new trade goods in city improvements to build one of the three metropolises of Catan – but beware of the barbarians attracted by Catan’s new wealth! You’ll need your best knights to fend them off! C&K contains a short campaign and 7 challenging maps.

Exciting adventures await you in the two new scenarios "Enchanted Land" and "The Great Canal". Vanquish dragons and bag their treasures or build a canal to help barren grain fields bloom once more.

Catan FAQ:

Question: An expansion seems gone after an update or reinstallation of Catan or after restoring the device?
Answer: Don’t worry, your initial purchase is already saved in your iTunes account. You can restore your InApp purchases by selecting the restore-option in the Catan IAP menu.

Question: I lost my campaign progress after reinstalling, updating or restoring my device. Is there any way to restore it?
Answer: When saved games can’t be automatically restored, we’ve integrated a cheat code: In the campaign mode go to select player and enter "CatanWarp*" (* = 1–15) as your player name and confirm. Exit the game via the home button and restart it. The campaign can now be continued from the specified level number (1–15). Levels up to the specified number will be unlocked in the custom game mode as well.

Question: Are dice rolls really random?
Answer: Of course! All dice rolls are 100% random and not modified in any way. We’re avid Catan players ourselves. We’ve played the iOS version hundreds of times while developing the program. There have been times when we won and lost a few games in a row because of the dice - just like when playing the board game!

Good game / poor ranking system and AI

Being a massive fan of the board game my expectations were high. The game itself is a good version but let down by two things. Firstly the AI is very poor - will make stupid moves that a 5 year old would not. Secondly the online ranking system simply misses games you play. I raised with support and was told it did “exceptionally”....it’s not exceptional - it has missed about 1/3 of the games I have played. It’s a real shame that these issues spoil what in my opinion is THE classic board game.

Have downgraded my first review because of another bug - longest road. The algorithm used is not correct and operates inconsistently. Have sent support photo evidence and am awaiting response. Will be changing rating to 1 if they continue to deny the error in the face of facts - will update as and when I get a response. As I said before, the game itself is a classic - would be a tragedy if the developer doesn’t want to get it working properly

Update 26 March 2021 - support took on board my comments in a constructive manner and I was impressed with response. Having tried to recreate the issue in offline games I am now pretty convinced it was just a one off blip rather than a coding issue. On that basis if you have never played this game get it - it is brilliant.

Love this game but needs fixing still

Please fix the development cards page. Too many times it bugs out and doesn’t show cards. Also, there’s a bug if you press build just before being asked to move the robber, it glitches and doesn’t let you move the robber. Had to close game and reopen pressing continue game. Hope this helps to the developer.

Buggy and most maps not included in £4.99 fee

It’s pretty buggy - the online game, with my son (who is sitting next to me on the same WiFi network) just keeps dropping out, making it unplayable. Every other game, there is a rendering problem on the menus, so they are unusable - the game requires a restart. Probably the most annoying thing is that most of the maps are extensions you have to buy (nearly £10, twice the cost of the game). These are way over priced given I’ve just paid nearly £5 (twice, as it isn’t on family share). Total cost for all maps between the two of us would therefore be nearly £30 - for that, you may as well buy the real thing.

Whilst it’s a great game to play, most of the reason for that is the board game it is based on is a cracker. Poor show by the developers.
