where it came from
Settlers of Catan is a multiplayer board game designed by Klaus Teuber. It was first published in 1995 in Germany by Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH & Co. (Kosmos) under the name Die Siedler von Catan.
Settlers was the first German-style board game to achieve popularity outside Europe, and has been called the "killer app" of designer board games.[1] Over 11 million games in the Catan series have been sold,[2] and the game has been translated into twenty-five languages from the original German.[3] The game has rapidly become popular in part because its mechanics are relatively simple, while its dynamics are quite complex.[4] The game is well suited for family play, since no one gets eliminated, and players who are behind can strive towards goals that are within their reach.
