As Catan approaches its 30th anniversary, it will unveil its sixth edition this April, marking the first significant update in a decade. The game, now known simply as Catan, continues to thrive with impressive sales figures despite an evolving gaming landscape. Designer Benjamin Teuber emphasizes that Catan remains a crucial starting point for newcomers to tabletop games, proving its relevancy across generations. Enhanced artwork for the sixth edition aims to appeal to both seasoned players and new audiences, ensuring the game's ongoing resonance in the hobby.
How do you keep an old game relevant even after 30 years, right? Especially when gaming has developed," managing director and game designer Benjamin Teuber told me. "The hobby continues to develop and grow, and there are so many great games. Every year, I have three new favorite games, and next year there [will be] three more and that's awesome, that's beautiful. But there is apparently still something to Catan because we still have very good sales numbers. ...There are always new people joining this hobby, and Catan still seems to be the entry level product, [the game] for many to find.
