“One of my core philosophies of this game is personalising – there’s no wrong way to play,” said designer Cory Konieczka.

“This partnership highlights how CATAN has become woven into sports culture – celebrating teamwork, strategy and the power of play that unites fans on and off the court,” said Kevin Hovdestad, Director of Brand Development at CATAN Studio.

The Ticket to Ride: First Journey Kids Afternoon Tea is hosted at the hotel’s Terminus Kitchen & Bar and features treats inspired by the game.

“I am thrilled to see the game expanding to a larger audience who will discover the richness of its universe,” said Asmodee CEO Thomas Koegler.

“Cthulhu: Death May Die is a strong brand with exciting development potential,” said Asmodee CEO Thomas Kœgler.

“Becoming the exclusive category manager for such iconic works is an exciting milestone and a testament to 25 years of a successful relationship with Middle-earth Enterprises” said Thomas Koegler, CEO of Asmodee.

The crossover edition sees players race to identify matching CATAN symbols, including hexes and resource motifs.

“Moodbox will become a hub for creativity and innovation,” said Jean-Sébastien De Barros, Chief Product Officer and EVP Publishing at Asmodee.

Regular and thematic quests will be available for players to win prizes throughout the months to come.

This version of the popular game features symbols, objects and characters from The Lord of the Rings.
