Summary
In the original Settlers of Catan, players colonize an island, gathering resources to expand and build settlements and roads. In the new version, Catan: New Energies, players face a modern challenge: managing pollution while developing their territory. Energy is crucial, with choices between renewable sources and faster but polluting fossil fuels. Pollution levels affect gameplay, causing disasters if unchecked. Developed by Catan GmbH, the game aims to reflect real-world environmental dilemmas, encouraging strategic thinking and cooperative decision-making. It emphasizes the consequences of energy choices, aiming to spark discussions on sustainability and climate change through interactive gameplay and shared experiences.
