Catan World Explorers

Fans of the board game Settlers of Catan are in luck: they can now enjoy Catan World Explorers, a virtual version of the game featuring GPS elements.

The settlers of Catan in Pokemon Go format

The famous board game Settlers of Catan goes digital in this fantastic title from Niantic, the studio behind Pokémon Go and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. And just like in these titles, thanks to AR, the world will transform into our game board.

The world is your game board

Catan World Explorers is the mobile version of the popular board game The Settlers of Catan, but with some new features. This multiplayer title uses augmented reality to turn the entire planet into one giant game board.

The development mixes the usual rules of the game with the mechanics of Pokémon Go. So in the real world we have to harvest, trade, collect resources, collect maps and construct buildings while cities and their strategic points become important settlements.

As we roll the dice and explore the real world, we can get resources (wood, brick, wool, grain and minerals) depending on the area. With them we will create building cards, which in turn will serve us to get victory points for our faction. As in Pokémon Go, there are three colored factions: bears, eagles and wolves.

The goal is to complete missions and get as many victory points as possible by building cities and settlements with collectible cards. The game offers us the possibility of competing locally and globally at the same time, temporary events and lots of sheep.

On a technical level, it's incredible and stands out for its great 3D graphics and wonderful gameplay. If we love the classic board game, then it's definitely worth downloading the free APK file right now.
