You do not know anything about the game ?
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 the island produces. Players build by spending resources (sheep, wheat, wood, brick and ore) that are depicted by these resource cards; each land type, with the exception of the unproductive desert, produces a specific resource: hills produce brick, forests produce wood, mountains produce ore, fields produce wheat, and pastures produce sheep.
A turn always consists of rolling the dice and everyone (perhaps) collecting resource cards based on the roll and position of settlements (or upgraded cities); however, if a 7 is rolled, the active player moves the robber to a new hex tile and steals a resource card from from another player who has built a structure adjacent to that tile. In addition, you may be able to play a development card, turn in resource cards for improvements, trade cards at a port, and trade resource cards with other players.
Points are accumulated by building settlements and cities, having the longest road and the largest army (from some of the development cards), and gathering certain development cards that simply award victory points. When a player has gathered 10 points (some of which may be held in secret), he announces his total and claims the win.
CATAN has won multiple awards and is one of the most popular games in recent history due to its amazing ability to appeal to experienced gamers as well as those new to the hobby.
...and you can play it right now from pretty much any device using a web browser.

CATAN: Un clásico de todos os tempos dispoñible oficialmente AGORA en Board Game Arena!
Lanzado por primeira vez en 1995, CATAN (anteriormente The Settlers of Catan) é un clásico de todos os tempos que se vendeu en todo o mundo durante anos.
Se nunca o xogaches, paga a pena o investimento.
Se xa coñeces o xogo, non perdas a oportunidade de probalo en Board Game Arena!
Non sabes nada do xogo?
En CATAN, os xogadores tentan ser a forza dominante na illa de Catan construíndo asentamentos, cidades e estradas. En cada turno lánzanse dados para determinar que recursos produce a illa. Os xogadores constrúen gastando recursos (ovellas, trigo, madeira, ladrillos e mineral) que se representan nestas tarxetas de recursos; cada tipo de terra, a excepción do deserto improdutivo, produce un recurso específico: os outeiros producen ladrillo, os bosques producen madeira, as montañas producen mineral, os campos producen trigo e os pastos producen ovellas.
Un turno sempre consiste en tirar os dados e todos (quizais) recollendo cartas de recursos en función da tirada e posición dos asentamentos (ou cidades melloradas); porén, se saca un 7, o xogador activo move o ladrón a unha nova ficha hexagonal e rouba unha carta de recurso doutro xogador que construíu unha estrutura adxacente a esa ficha. Ademais, podes xogar unha carta de desenvolvemento, entregar cartas de recursos para mellorar, intercambiar cartas nun porto e intercambiar cartas de recursos con outros xogadores.
Os puntos acumúlanse construíndo asentamentos e cidades, tendo a estrada máis longa e o exército máis grande (dalgunhas das tarxetas de desenvolvemento) e reunindo certas tarxetas de desenvolvemento que simplemente outorgan puntos de vitoria. Cando un xogador acumula 10 puntos (algúns dos cales poden manterse en segredo), anuncia o seu total e reclama a vitoria.
CATAN gañou varios premios e é un dos xogos máis populares da historia recente debido á súa incrible capacidade para atraer aos xogadores experimentados e aos novos no hobby.
...e podes xogalo agora mesmo desde case calquera dispositivo usando un navegador web.

O equipo de Board Game Arena quere agradecer ao equipo de CATAN, así como a Klaus Teuber, o deseñador do xogo, a súa autorización e axuda durante a adaptación do xogo á nosa plataforma.
Por suposto, non hai xogos sen un equipo detrás do código do xogo e do desenvolvemento para BGA, e este débese ao fantástico traballo de darhf e lordalx, que fixeron un traballo incrible aquí, de novo. Gustaríanos que envíes todo o amor que poidas, así como aos nosos equipos de probas beta.
E... iso é todo por hoxe!
