In this memorable and meaningful standalone CATAN experience, you and your fellow players manage energy needs for your societies.

You'll start with cheap fossil fuels that cause pollution events and interrupt resource production. But as you invest in renewable energy, pollution events are replaced with rewards for sustainable strategies. You'll monitor and negotiate with fellow players to decrease pollution, which affects everyone.
As in real life, the most sustainable player does not always win, and as in any CATAN game, there are multiple paths to victory. But, if pollution levels remain too high for too long and the game ends in catastrophe, the player who has invested most in renewable energy wins.

In its essence, this CATAN variant highlights the importance of investment in renewables.

CATAN - New Energies (English edition) is assembled in the USA of sustainably-sourced wood and paper, using no plastic pieces.
