Set sail for adventure!

Catan Junior is a pirate-themed introduction to the world of Catan, designed especially for younger players. With simplified rules, colourful components, and a fun island setting, it’s the perfect way to introduce kids to resource management and strategy.

Instead of settling new lands, players explore a ring of tropical islands, building pirate hideouts, sailing ships, and gathering resources — all while keeping an eye on the mysterious Ghost Captain on Spooky Island.

⚓ How It Plays

• 2–4 players

• Ages 5+

• Quick, easy-to-learn gameplay

Each island produces a specific resource:
