Catan is a strategy board game where 3–4 players compete to settle an island by building roads, settlements, and cities using resource tiles. Players collect resources (brick, lumber, wool, grain, ore) based on dice rolls, trade with opponents, and aim to reach 10 victory points first.

Key Game Components & Rules:
- Objective: Accumulate 10 victory points on your turn.
- Setup: The board consists of hexagonal tiles (forest, hills, pasture, fields, mountains, and desert) with randomized numbers. Players start with two settlements and two roads.
- Resource Collection: When dice are rolled, players with settlements adjacent to the corresponding number get resources.
- Trading: Players can trade resources with each other or with the bank/ports to get what they need.
- Building: Resources are used to build roads, settlements (1 point), or upgrade to cities (2 points).
- The Robber: If a 7 is rolled, no resources are produced. The player who rolled it moves the robber to block one hex from producing and steals a card from an opponent.
The game, created by Klaus Teuber, is famous for its combination of strategy, negotiation, and probability.
