English Catan Card Games from 1998
Last Update: 24 May 2022
The Settlers of Catan Card Games started in 1998 with the first basic play set. Since then there have been three newer and updated releases carrying on the two-person game. The two sets currently in production are "Rivals for Catan" and the smaller set "Struggle for Catan."
Over the years there have also been expansions and promo cards that have added additional twists and scenarios to some of the games. Since 1998 the four versions of the card game are:
- The Settlers of Catan Card Game - released 1998
- Catan Card Game ‐ released 2005
- The Rivals for Catan - released 2010
- The Struggle for Catan - released 2011
Each of these games is expanded below in more detail along with images of the various sets released. All colour images are items from my own collection. Any greyscale images are items I still need.
While I list the 1998 card game as the first English game, at the end of this page I have included a rare Mayfair release of the German card game from 1996. Arguably this game with English instructions is the very first Card Game.
I welcome corrections, comments and additions if you have them.
