Catan Studio Catan: Family Edition - CN7003

Catan Studio's Catan: Family Edition (CN7003) is a streamlined version of the classic Catan board game designed to introduce the trading and settlement mechanics to younger players and families. Built for 3 to 4 players aged 7 and up, a typical game runs around 45 to 75 minutes. Players collect and trade resources — wood, brick, wheat, sheep, and ore — to build settlements, roads, and cities across a modular hex-tile island, racing to reach 10 victory points. The Family Edition simplifies setup and rules slightly compared to the standard edition, making it a natural starting point for families new to Catan without losing the core trading and strategy gameplay that made the original a modern classic.
