Playing The Settlers of Catan in pairs - is that possible?

Since its release in 1995, The Settlers of Catan has been one of the most successful board games ever. In times of social distance, this kind of pastime is more popular than ever - but does that also apply to two players?

Specialist: For two players, meanwhile, there is the duel offshoot.

For the original game is explicitly designed for three or four players. Households with two people, however, find an alternative.

The Settlers of Catan: This offshoot allows the game for two

Because of the high demand, Kosmos and Catan inventor Klaus Teuber developed years ago a variant specifically for two players:

• This is called Catan - The Duel.
• The Duel is designed as a card game and implements the well-known principle of Catan in this way.
• In addition to the basic game, which is also considered an introductory game, three theme sets are included. These you can choose individually or together into the game.

In addition, there is now an expansion. This is called Dark & Golden times and brings with six theme sets even more variety into the game.
