Guide your branch of the human family tree to gather resources, migrate, and settle across the globe all while advancing their technologies and cultures. This fresh and vibrant reboot of the original game Settlers of the Stone Age is rooted in the classic CATAN gameplay system with plenty of new mechanics, strategies, and adventures to discover". Review: If you like Settlers of Catan this is a nice variant. - The play is rather predictable, but you can vary your approach in a couple of ways. It takes longer to set up as there are many small pieces. However, these pieces add to the game, and play proceeds along at a fine pace. There's enough of the original to recognize the game, but different enough that you'll need to learn the strategies needed to win. Not a particularly deep game, if you've been a gamer for decades, but the play's fun and there are several routes to victory. A 9 year old, smart girl played with us and figured out how to play on her first playthrough. Review: Endless Fun with CATAN - CATAN: Dawn of Humankind is absolutely awesome!

While the rules are similar, there are differences in turn structure and resources that would make integration with Seafarers difficult at best. **Q: Would this game be appropriate for a seven year old? He got Catan Jr for his 5th birthday and mastered it quickly.** A: If he likes catan jr then I’d get him the original catan or seafarers. This one is tough to learn and takes some patience. My kids love the other versions and usually pick game play up quickly but this one wore us down when we hadn’t even started and we were 45min into reading instructions. **Q: Do you need original Settlers of Catan to play this, or is it a standalone?** A: You don't need the original Settlers for this game. Personally, I think this game is more fun than the other. :) **Q: Is there any way to make it a two player game?** A: Absolutely! My son and I play together all the time! Only 2 players needed! Enjoy! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like Settlers of Catan this is a nice variant. *by T***M on February 22, 2025* The play is rather predictable, but you can vary your approach in a couple of ways.

I love this game. You start on one continent and explore and settle the rest of the world. You have to build camps and gather items along the way. You also have to build your skills and supplies to move forward. It's a balance you have to figure out what will get you the winning victory points. We have played many times and look forward to the next time we get to play. ## Frequently Bought Together - CATAN Dawn of Humankind Board Game - Embark on Humanity's Greatest Journey!
