Stage 1 – Quick overview of Catan.


Welcome to Catan! A board game immensely popular in the Netherlands. This game contains the base variant of the game, which includes:

  • The five basic resources.
  • Settlements, Cities, Roads and its development cards.
  • 10 Victory Points to win.
  • Bandit.

You are able to enjoy this game with friends or by playing it against the A.I. with the following game modes:

  • Multiplayer (online).
  • Offline against A.I. or friends.

The game comes with QR codes that you may scan on mobile devices, these serve as a second screen, showing your resources and development cards. This way, other players in the room cannot see what treasures you hold!

Stage 2 – Road to platinum.


The trophies for Catan are straightforward. Playing the game and winning should be enough to earn you that shiny platinum. However, some shortcuts can be made!

Using multiple controllers with different PSN profiles allows you to actually play against yourself in a local match. You will be able to trade all resources to your main account, allowing for swift upgrades and victories.

Playing against yourself with the same profile attached to the same controller will not unlock trophies.

Keep the following in mind:
Settlement = 1 VP.
City = 2 VP (upon upgrading the settlement disappears, so 2 VP instead of 3 total).
