    "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. Features: - Available languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese - Original "Settlers of Catan" rule set - Update 4.0+: Synchronous online multiplayer games - Smart computer opponents with individual strategies - Scrollable game board including zoom option - Freely combinable game settings - Game statistics - Comprehensive tutorial - Seafarers LITE: New scenario "The 4 Islands" and two additional game variants - Cities and Knights LITE: Test the new expansion in the scenario “The first Island” - 3 different graphic sets to choose from ***** Catan FAQ: Question: An expansion seems gone after an update or reinstallation of Catan or after restoring the device? 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 [email protected] We are looking forward to your feedback!

    Super underrated board game. The iOS port doesn't do it justice, but Catan HD at $2.99 versus the real board game for $30+ is definitely an easy decision to make.

    For those with iPods/iPhones, $4.99 is still a nice buy. I got it at that price point and couldn't be happier.

    EDIT: OP should make it clear that the $2.99 sale is apparently only for the HD version. Standard is still the same. For now, at least.

    Thanks for posting Synth. These sales are usually not very long and I thought only the HD version was on sale. I would have probably missed it! :D

    Yeah definitely one of the best, if not the best boardgames on my device.

    And the iPhone version has been 2.99 since I posted, sale is not ONLY for the hd version...

    Now if the IAP would go on sale - hate the major double-dip with this so-so version...

    Reviving an old thread. On sale again.

    Is this worth picking up despite the complaints some people have with it?

    Please stop reposting the app info in your own post if it already exists in the thread, as doing so removes the info from the first post in the thread and puts it in yours. This is not only irritating, but also makes the thread less useful, especially if your post isn't on the first page.

    I'm conflicted on this one. I want it but, as far as i can tell, there is still no online multiplayer. I see they started taking beta applications back in March to bring this feature to the game so I wouldn't think it'd be that far off ...

    I'm not up to speed on the Catan games. Which is the better game, this one or Rivals? Do either of them have multiplayer and is this the same as Settlers?

    Apparently you can't play the campaign unless you pay an additional $4.99 for one of the expansions and according to the comments you lose the expansions if you update the game!?

    Considered purchasing the HD version but the reviews are terrible. If there are so many bugs/crashes and I see no update since 2012. Can anyone confirm if this works well on OS7?

    Dang I hope that's not true. The overall score is very high with a lot of reviews. I didn't read any specific reviews because most of then annoy me and make me loose faith in humanity.

    Crap, I bought the non HD version when it went on sale, not realizing there were two.
