A new edition of Catan is in the cards this spring.
Catan — On the Road captures everything fans love about the board game, now in a portable card game format. The game was designed by Catan GmbH, Catan Studio, and Asmodee to be easy to learn and quick to play, perfect for long road trips, hitting the trail, and general gaming on the go. Families can add this game to their packing lists in April for $9.99.

The goal of this card game is the same as the original: to collect resources, build roads and cities, and trade with other settlers to gain control of the island. However, instead of physical pieces, players will gather items by drawing cards from a shared bank.
With limited resources to go around, trading is more important than ever. Players can either trade with the bank or with each other, and as a bonus, settlers involved in a trade will gain extra resources, whether or not it’s their turn.
“On The Road gives players a great Catan experience in a fast, fresh format,” said Benjamin and Guido Teuber, Co-CEOs of Catan GmbH. “Playing exclusively using cards makes On the Road easy to bring along wherever you go, and we hope it creates a great new gateway into our broader game portfolio for new players.”
Catan — On the Road will be available April 3. For more information about the game and its existing six editions, visit catan.com.
