Catan Universe
Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker
After a long, hardship filled journey you have reached the coast of an unknown island! However, other explorers have also landed on Catan: The race for colonisation has begun! Build roads and towns, trade skilfully and become ruler over Catan!
Catan Universe is the official digital Settlers of Catan - the classic resource-trading board game plus its Seafarers and Cities & Knights expansions and the two-player Duel card game, playable online against others or bots. Faithful, if a bit menu-heavy; free to start.
The list is a progression-and-variety checklist: level up your account (Master to level 20), dabble in each expansion, and pull off a few in-game feats (win with both
Dominance bonuses, a 12-section road, a win without a city). A handful want repeat wins in an expansion (
Old salt,
Squire) or a specific scenario (
Empire). Nothing is missable - just keep playing. See each note.
