It's the 21st Century, and Catan is at a crossroads. Long gone is the agrarian society of the island's ancestors. Today's Catanians need energy to keep society moving and growing, but pollution is wreaking havoc.

You must decide: Invest in clean energy sources, or opt for cheaper fossil fuels with potentially disastrous consequences?

Catan: New Energies is a new standalone game rooted in classic Catan mechanisms of harvesting, trading, and building. New gameplay elements including power plants, energy tokens, and environmental events that add new strategies and stories to a familiar foundation.
