The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Catan Studio was founded in Germany. Klaus Teuber created the game Settlers of Catan in 1995. It became a board game phenomenon across Europe and North America. The game transformed how people played strategy games at home. Players build settlements on a hexagonal island. They trade resources. They compete without violence or elimination. Catan defined modern board gaming for a generation. Today the brand appears in thousands of retail channels globally. It ranks second in the Baby, Kids & Toys category among tracked brands. The game has sold millions of copies. Expansions and digital versions extended its reach. Catan Studio remains the publisher of this singular work that changed gaming culture entirely.
