In CATAN; players try to be the dominant force on the island of Catan by building settlements; cities; and roads. On each turn; dice are rolled to determine what resources — sheep; wheat; wood; brick and ore — the island produces. Players spend these resources to build settlements; roads; and cities and to purchase development cards that have different effects. Each settlement and city you have is worth points; and you can gain additional points by building the longest road; acquiring the largest army; or collecting certain development cards. The first player to collect 10 points wins.

In CATAN: 3D Edition; the island of Catan rises off the table for an immersive experience like no other. Your settlements grow from fertile grain fields; and your cities nestle into the sides of majestic mountains. The look of the land is based on terrain tiles hand-sculpted by game designer Klaus Teuber. All of the terrain is hand-painted for stunning color; and the intricately-designed player pieces are antiqued for a look that's full of history and character.
