In this portable edition, the island of Catan is created on the pad in the center of the table. Different island layouts ensure that every game is new and full of possibilities. Players draw their roads, settlements and cities directly on the map as the island develops.
Trade remains the key to success. Instead of cards, you use resource tokens to trade with other players. Some resources you will have in abundance, while others are scarce. Exchange wisely to complete your building plans.
Build, trade and settle wherever your journey takes you with CATAN Zip, a portable standalone version of the classic strategy game. Rather than assembling terrain hexes and placing plastic pieces, players create the island on a paper map and draw their roads, settlements and cities directly onto the landscape.
Resource and development tokens replace the larger card decks, while the enclosed dice shaker keeps rolls contained during travel. Trading remains central as players exchange scarce resources to complete building plans and reach 10 victory points.
The map pad provides 50 different island layouts, and the components pack into separate storage boxes inside a reusable zippered travel bag.
