Catan, the popular settlement-building board game, is getting a new modern version called Catan: New Energies!
A well-known game with many expansions and editions, this latest variant is based on the concept of sustainability and renewable resources. The biggest feature to deal with this is the in-game pollution system, which can end the game outright!
The game is currently up for pre-order, so let’s take a look at what this new version of Catan is all about!
Catan: New Energies (pre-order) – $69.99
Players will have to choose between constructing inexpensive fossil fuel-based power plants, which will increase pollution levels, and investing in renewable energy sources.
You must decide: Invest in clean energy resources or opt for cheaper fossil fuels, potentially causing disatrous effects for the island?
You’ll have to balance the costs of cheap energy versus sustaining in the long run and be aware of the risks to the environment as the game goes along.
