“The Settlers of Catan” has been one of the most popular strategic board games since its official launch in 1995. The game is translated in over 30 languages and sold more than 15 million copies.

Now Vectorform Game Studio brings you “The Settlers of Catan” as presented by Mayfair for the Microsoft Surface.
