It is the 21st Century, and Catan is at a crossroads. Long since past is the agrarian society of the island's Viking ancestors. Today's Catanians require energy to keep society moving and growing, but pollution is wreaking havoc on the island.

You must choose: Invest in clean energy resources, or opt for cheaper fossil fuels, potentially causing disastrous effects for the island?

CATAN: New Energies is a new standalone game with the classic CATAN mechanisms of harvesting, trading, and building. New gameplay elements such as power plants, energy tokens, and environmental events that add new strategies and stories to a familiar foundation.
