Whether you're a seasoned Catan player or new to the series, this game provides a fresh, engaging experience full of strategy and fun. The CATAN Rivals Deluxe edition comes beautifully packaged, with high-quality cards and components that feel durable and well-made. The design is sleek and modern, with an easy-to-follow setup that gets you into the game quickly. The rules are clear, and it’s evident that a lot of care went into making the game accessible while still maintaining the strategic depth that Catan is known for. In CATAN Rivals Deluxe, you build settlements, cities, and roads while managing resources and competing for control of the island. The card-based format works really well for a two-player experience and has the same exciting elements of trading, expanding, and developing that make Catan so beloved. What sets this edition apart is the ability to play in a head-to-head format, making it faster and more intense than the traditional board game. The deluxe edition includes additional expansion packs and features, adding more variety and replayability. It’s easy to adjust the difficulty, and the game offers a good balance of strategy, luck, and decision-making, ensuring that no two games feel the same. Pros: Great for two players, offering a deep and strategic experience. High-quality components and well-designed cards. Quick to set up and play, making it ideal for shorter game sessions. Offers plenty of replay value with expansion packs and customization options. Perfect for fans of Catan or those looking for a competitive, engaging card game. Cons: Best played with two players—while it can be played with more, it’s not as dynamic as the full Catan board game with a larger group. New players might need some time to get used to the rules and strategy, but once you’re familiar with it, the gameplay becomes smoother. The CATAN Rivals Deluxe edition is well worth the price, especially for fans of Catan looking for a card game version of the classic. The added expansions and customization options ensure that you’ll get plenty of enjoyment and long-term value out of the game. This game is perfect for two players who enjoy strategic card games and want a more portable, faster-paced version of Catan. It’s also a great choice for couples, friends, or anyone who loves the Catan series and wants to experience the game in a new format. Overall, I highly recommend CATAN Rivals Deluxe to anyone who enjoys strategic card games. It’s engaging, fun, and offers hours of entertainment. A must-have for Catan fans looking for a new challenge! Review: very good game for two - I bought this game over 1 year ago and we have played with is extensively. There are not many good two person board games but this is one of them. The game is different every time and the game is not over in the first few moves which many games are. We removed one charater from the set of cards to stop it being one sided. That card being Gavin the Polyglot. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years. For use under adult supervision - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - Rivals for Catan: Deluxe puts you in charge of one of the two factions developing newly-settled Catan. Use your unique card mix to create your own principality. - Rivals for Catan: Deluxe includes card trays to keep the different card piles organised as well as nine hard-to-find promotional cards. - In this strategic 2 player card game, gameplay is slightly similar to the Original Catan board game. However, you are playing soley with cards. - Use gold, resource combinations and trade to develop your domain. Expand your settlements and cities, recruit heroes, and defend your lands through politics, invention and intrigue. - This casual card game is never the same! It's the perfect travel card game for couples, families or any pair of friends. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01LZG7YDW | | Age Range Description | 10 years to 18 years | | Age range (description) | 10 years to 18 years | | Best Sellers Rank | 39,825 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 872 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand | CATAN | | Brand Name | CATAN | | Colour | Multicolor | | Container Type | Box | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,016 Reviews | | Educational Objective | strategic thinking and decision-making | | Estimated Playing Time | 45 Minutes | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00029877031344 | | Grenre | Strategy | | Included Components | 1x Rulebook with card index - 180x Cards + 9x Promo Cards - 4x Custom Card Trays - 2x Tokens - 2x Dice | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 27.3 x 19.1 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Tabletop Game | | Item Weight | 0.64 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Fantasy Flight Games | | Manufacturer Part Number | CN3134 | | Material | Cardstock | | Material Type | Cardstock | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 180 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 120.0 | | Model Name | Rivals For Catan: Deluxe | | Model Number | CN3134 | | Model Year | 2016 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | For 2 Players. | | Number of players | For 2 Players. | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Exclusive Promotional Cards, Custom Card Trays, Three Theme Games | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Style | Medieval | | Set Name | Rivals For Catan: Deluxe | | Size | 7.5 x 10.75 x 2.75 | | Subject Character | Heroes | | Theme | Fairy Tale | | UPC | 029877031344 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** 10 years to 18 years - **Brand:** CATAN - **Material:** Cardstock - **Number of players:** For 2 Players. - **Theme:** Fairy Tale ## Images ![Rivals Deluxe | Board Game | Ages 10+ | 2 Players | 45-120 Minutes Playing Time - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810RLuH7fGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are there words on any of the cards? ie does the language of the game matter for anything except the rules, which are easy to find online anyway?** A: The basic set is easy to play and without words however in the expansions; The Era of Gold,” “The Era of Turmoil,” and “The Era of Progress” all have cards with details on them in English to eplain the action and/or restriction. The instructions also give the same detail, I have printed out extra copies as it is useful to be able to refer to cards that 'might' be available in the deck. **Q: what's the difference between the deluxe version and the regular (non-deluxe) rivals for catan?** A: The deluxe version has little plastic trays to hold the cards whilst playing and to store them in the box. Not sure if there are any other extras... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Card Game for Catan Fans *by K***N on 12 January 2025* CATAN Rivals Deluxe is a fantastic card game that offers an exciting twist on the classic Catan board game.

There are not many good two person board games but this is one of them. The game is different every time and the game is not over in the first few moves which many games are. We removed one charater from the set of cards to stop it being one sided. That card being Gavin the Polyglot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting and fun game with expansion sets letting you modify the game to keep it fresh *by G***H on 7 April 2025* Purchased this game after enjoying the original Settlers of Catan. It is a really fun game and easy to get to grips with. Once you’ve played a game or two you will have the hang of it. Everything in the box is high quality and includes multiple expansion card sets which changes the way the game plays keeping it interesting and letting you loftily how you play. Great value for money and we have already had a lot of games with this not long after purchase. I would recommend this even if you haven’t played Settlers of Catan, while the theme is similar and there are similarities to the mechanics, it is an interesting and fun game in its own right. I would recommend getting some card sleeves for the included cards to protect them during play. We use the Gamegenic Blue Matte Sleeves (73mm x 73mm), they fit great and make it easy to move the cards. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rivals for CATAN Card Game DELUXE EDITION - Build, Trade, and Conquer with Enhanced Components!
