About this product
The CATAN adventure in a clever, portable travel edition.
A compact CATAN experience for family trips, holidays, camping weekends, and game nights away from home.
Build, trade, and race to 10 victory points with a portable CATAN edition that uses maps, pens, resource tiles, and a reusable travel bag.
Product Description
Take the island of CATAN with you — no giant table needed.
CATAN: The Game – Zip! Edition gives players the classic CATAN feeling in a compact, travel-friendly format. Instead of building with large board pieces, players draw roads, settlements, and cities directly onto the paper map pad while using resource tiles to trade, build, and compete.
Each game is about clever placement, smart trading, and timing your builds well. Collect resources from nearby terrain, expand your route, upgrade settlements into cities, and race to be the first player to reach 10 victory points. The rulebook confirms that players win by reaching 10 victory points on their turn, earned through building, development tiles, Longest Route, and Largest Army bonuses.
Why you’ll love it
- Portable CATAN gameplay — ideal for road trips, holidays, camping, and smaller tables.
- 50 unique map sheets — fresh island layouts keep each game feeling different.
- Draw-as-you-build system — roads, settlements, and cities are marked directly on the map.
- Classic trading tension — swap resource tiles with players or trade with the supply.
- Reusable travel bag included — neat for storage and taking CATAN on the move.
- Still feels strategic — placement, trade timing, resource planning, and route building all matter.

- Players use resource tiles instead of cards.
- The island is played on a paper CATAN map pad.
