Our take on the Catan Studio Catan (5th Edition)

Catan is the trade-and-build board game where 3 to 4 players settle an island, gather resources from hex tiles, and race to 10 victory points. The 5th Edition from Catan Studio is the current standard English version, with wooden pieces, a modular board and a 60-minute play time. It is a light-to-medium strategy game that works as a family step up from party games. At $20.00 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its usual $25 to $45 range, so this is a good moment to buy.

Questions and answers

Is Catan good for beginners?
Yes. The rules take about 15 minutes to teach, and the goal of 10 victory points is clear from the start. It is one of the standard first modern board games for families.
How many players can play?
The base game is for 3 to 4 players. A 5-6 player extension is sold separately and needs the base game to play.
How long does a game take?
Plan on about 60 minutes. First games often run longer while players learn the trading and building rules.
Is this the same as the older Mayfair editions?
The 5th Edition is the current Catan Studio version, released in 2015. Rules and components are compatible with the Mayfair editions, so expansions work with it.
What is in the box?
The box has the modular hex board, 19 terrain tiles, number tokens, wooden roads, settlements and cities, resource and development cards, two dice and the robber. It is the base game only.
When is the best time to buy?
Prices dip during holiday sales and back-to-school promotions. At $20.00 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it is already near the bottom of its recent range.
