Catan online - Anyone interested?

[Dinsdale]

Since we're all locked in, how about a game of Catan?

CATAN UNIVERSE

The ultimate multi-platform version of CATAN. Play CATAN online in the original implementation including many extensions with people from all over the world or compete against clever computer opponents. An account allows you to play on all available platforms.

looks like it can be played asynchronous - just take your turn when you have time.

I'm downloading it for browser and will check it out, see how to connect with people you know instead of just randoms...

So you have to play through the tutorial to be able to start a game, then you can turn off the timer. not sure how to add players in yet.

*may not be true

Happy to hear how this goes, though I’m really rubbish.

get on and play through the tutorial, then you'll have enough gold to "buy" the game, I have 10xp now so can set up a guild for BF IF we can get enough people involved

Having some issues at my end with this online platform unfortunately at the moment, looks like it may not be coping with the increased traffic due to everyone being in isolation.

Yeah this also happened to me

Yep, I registered on the app then it didn't let me go on the tutorial (it crashed) and it doesn't work on my browser. I'll pass on this I think.

I will look into this

 

[Dinsdale]

I'm downloading it via Steam to see if it is more stable, I seem to lose connection to other players via browser...

I’m still at the vs bots stage, but it wants me to play cities and knights (even though I got kicked playing seafarers)

I've downloaded this on Steam but have never played. Is this a steep learning curve game? I'd have to check which version I have but I'd be interested.

no the tutorial is pretty good for teaching the basics, but strategy does come into it, which you'll pick up as you learn

Can barely win 1 game in 5 vs bots on first island, must be doing something wrong
