Catan

Catan, originally published as The Settlers of Catan, is a trading and building game created by Klaus Teuber and published by Kosmos in 1995. Players develop settlements on an island by trading resources gathered through dice rolls, in a game where diplomacy matters as much as strategy. Awarded the Spiel des Jahres in 1995, it has since sold over 40 million copies and spawned numerous expansions and variants.
