Asmodee hails success of CATAN: Connect the World initiative

Asmodee is hailing the success of CATAN: Connect the World – a worldwide celebration of ‘connection, strategy, and the timeless magic of tabletop play.’

To mark the CATAN’s 30th anniversary, fans came together on Saturday, June 28th across the world – including at London’s Kia Oval Stadium and Patriot Games Sheffield – to play CATAN – Connect. This event version of the game allows many people to play at once, and was previously used to beat the Guinness World Record for most people playing CATAN consecutively.

3,500 players across 86 events, spanning 38 countries all took part in this year’s CATAN: Connect the World events.

“The global success of CATAN: Connect the World is a true testament to the tabletop community and highlights the scale of fans worldwide united by a common love for CATAN,” said Phil Crawford, Brand Manager at Asmodee UK.

“For 30 years, CATAN has brought people together around the table, and this global event showed just how powerful that connection can be. Seeing thousands of fans across continents celebrate, smile, and experience some friendly competition together was a proud moment for everyone at Asmodee.”
