Ships land in surrounding ports and Settlements and cities appear as players continue to build and trade with each other. Success comes with gaining Victory Points, which can be earned in a variety of ways including building a ‘Long Road’ or amassing a ‘Great Army.’ Building Cities and Settlements also earns Victory Points, as well as skillful use of Development Cards.

Each assistant brings their own unique and special abilities to give players the opportunity to develop their fledgling communities into thriving cities. The rules and victory criteria remain the same as in the base game, but the process of getting there is simply more interesting.

Online play uses Cross-play to ensure that Nintendo Switch players can enjoy CATAN – Console Edition together with players on other consoles, while solo players can face off against various AI characters based on each of CATAN’s lore its complexity in construction and trade.
