Hello reviewers,

Catan is now available in alpha:
https://boardgamearena.com/reviewer?game=catan



Picture yourself in the era of discoveries: after a long voyage of great deprivation, your ships have finally reached the coast of an uncharted island. Its name shall be Catan!

We need your help to fine-tune the experience before going to beta
The trade part in particular is still a work in progress and we need feedback to enhance the player experience and find the correct presentation and flow.

May I be added as alpha test player for this game?

How can you see which harbour is which?

Thanks,

Hi - experienced Catan player, and I would love to help test the Alpha, if you'll have me. Either way, can't wait, and good luck!
