Description
CATAN: New Energies is a fresh take on the classic CATAN experience, set in a modern world where energy is the key to progress. The island of Catan is at a crossroads, and it's up to you to decide how to power its growth. With 3 to 4 players competing to build and thrive, you'll need to navigate the challenges of energy production, all while minimizing the impact on the environment. The game is easy to learn, but with a playtime of 90 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to develop your strategy and outmaneuver your opponents. As you play, you'll encounter new gameplay elements like power plants, energy tokens, and environmental events, which add a rich layer of depth to the classic CATAN mechanics of harvesting, trading, and building. Designed by Klaus Teuber and Benjamin Teuber, CATAN: New Energies offers a unique blend of civilization-building, economic management, and territory expansion, all set against the backdrop of a fragile ecosystem. With its modular board and variable setup, each game is a new challenge, and the fate of Catan hangs in the balance. Will you invest in clean energy and safeguard the island's future, or opt for cheaper fossil fuels and risk disastrous consequences? The choice is yours in CATAN: New Energies, a game that's all about finding the right balance between progress and preservation.
