Niantic’s Latest AR Game Turns The Entire Earth Into One Giant Game Of Catan

First released in 1995 to a small, but passionate group of fans, award-winning strategy game Settlers of Catan would eventually go on to become one of the most influential board games ever released. Set on the fictional island of Catan, the game tasks players with collecting resources and establishing settlements with the goal of accumulating Victory Points; the first to accumulate 10 points wins. Over the course of its 24-year run, the base game has spawned numerous spin-offs available on various mediums and platforms, such as Catan Junior and Catan Rivals. There’s even a version based on George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones. Catan’s latest variation, Catan – World Explorers, takes the iconic board game series in a bold new direction, bringing the classic strategy experience to augmented reality for the first time. Developed in collaboration with location-based AR veteran Niantic (Pokemon Go, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite), World Explorers turns the entire world into a giant massively multiplayer game of Settlers of Catan.
