Patch 2.7.5: getting ready for the new season! Season Matchmaking: You'll now be matched reliably only with other season players, and every season match counts toward your Elo. Player Count & Maps: Numerous fixes for wrong player counts and incorrectly loaded maps in 3-4 and 5-6 player matches. Settings: The player count slider now reliably remembers your selection, and matchmaking is no longer blocked by missing board customisation choices.

Don’t do it

Garbage game.

Buggy and devs don’t fix longstanding problems

Catan is a beautiful game, but there are severe defects that have been a part of the online game for years and remain unfixed. E.g. AI players that repeatedly ask for trades with no end; games that crash and get stuck on a loading screen; players able to place pieces one corner away; and perhaps the worst is the dodgy dice algorithm that is not random.

Game is fun. The app is not.

So infuriating, it has issues and bugs kicking you out of games, freezing games and also deleting your account but then says your account is active. Super annoying

Eh

Game of Catan is always fun, but this? Always the same tile layout, always the same dice layout, can only play 1 “solo” game every 12 hours, definitely a pay to play experience.

Bugs

About every 4-5 games I play online 1 of those games are bound to freeze my app and get stuck in loading screen. My game has even been stuck for over 16 hours I’ve tried even deleting app and redownloading and still frozen. It’s a great game and I love playing it But, yall have to fix that because it’s making me not want to play anymore.
