Switch players can soon trade, build, and strategize whether you’re on your couch, battling online, or gaming on the go.
Choose Your Edition, Plot Your Strategy
Here’s the lowdown on the editions that’ll be rolling out. The Super Deluxe version, which is the full loot crate here, will feature the base game, five championship maps, and The Helpers. This is the first official expansion pack to make its way into CATAN – Console Edition. Gamers who want to start light can opt for the Deluxe or Standard editions. The Deluxe package will offer the base game plus championship maps, and the Standard option gives you just the base game of CATAN. For players who want to upgrade later, the Helpers and championship maps will be sold separately.
