كatan is a popular board game that involves strategy, resource management, and trading. Players take on the role of settlers on an island, where they gather resources like wood, brick, sheep, wheat, and ore to build roads, settlements, and cities. The goal is to earn victory points by expanding their territory and achieving specific objectives. The game is played on a modular board, which means the layout changes each time, adding variety to the gameplay. Players can trade resources with each other and must adapt their strategies based on the actions of their opponents. Catan is suitable for 3 to 4 players and typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete.
