Dear Catanians,

Due to the great feedback for our first Catan Season, we are very excited to announce a series of competitive Seasons called "Catan - The Emperor’s Quest"!
So starting this December we are looking for the most skilled Catan players Catan Universe has to offer!



In order to win the prestigious Emperor’s Crown you’ll have to show that you're an extremely versatile Catan player that is able to master all the Catan variants we have and finish every Season in the top 1% to win every Crown necessary to earn the ultimate Crown of the Emperor!

Of course we will make it worth your while, as every Season is going to have great rewards even if you're not able to finish at the very top.

We will start on December 17th with another Base Game Season to make sure everyone has a chance to participate but we will follow it up with the first Seafarer Season in spring 2019.

Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming Season soon!

See you on the island!
