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. The game allows you to 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.

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! ***** Questions or suggestions for improvements: Mail to ios@usm.de We are looking forward to your feedback!

Constant crashes, real shame

I really like Catan. One of my favorite board games of all time. But is completely annoying to play it in iOS. I could bear the un-optimized GUI, but the constant crashes make this almost unplayable. Avoid it at all costs.

Crashes CONSTANTLY

The only way to play this game is to get used to constantly crashing and reconnecting multiples times literally every time you play. Who knows why.. the developers probably don’t want to pay for decent servers.

Fun game, but it’s rigged against you!

Overall, this game is really fun! But it’s frustrating how rigged it is. When you get ahead of the AI the dice suddenly starts rolling tons of 7’s and they always put the robber on your spaces. Then with the robber on your space it starts rolling the number of that tile so you don’t get the resources. Also, the AI seem to always have an unlimited supply of knight cards that they use against you.

Game is awesome, app is trash

I cannot understand for the life of me why they haven’t created a decent app for this game by now. The dice are so fixed in this game it’s infuriating. It’s just like let the dice be random. let the cards be random. I haven’t a clue why the app developers think this is a fun way to play. There is almost always a favorite, you can tell which player it is from the start. Beyond that the game glitches and it’s hard to change perspective of game board. Just a lot that really could be cleaned up. So disappointing because the board games are so good.
