| There’s only one place to play the internationally best-selling board game “Settlers of Catan” online, and that’s right here on MSN Games. Fortunately, MSN Games is everywhere, which means if you want to play Catan with your old buddy who happens to be on assignment in Antarctica, we’ve got you covered. And you won’t even have to round up a penguin to be your third player, since our matchmaking service allows you to add anyone from your MSN Messenger list, or even a random player who matches your skill level.
Here’s what you need to get started.
Pay by the month: only $4.99 (US)
This is a great idea if you’re not sure you’ll be playing the same game a year from now; just try Catan out for a month and see why so many people love it.
First steps of expansion
Currently, Catan Online is available only to US subscribers. However, we are working towards expanding this to include international customers. For now, if you are an international player, we highly recommend Catan: The Computer Game, the download version of our single-player game. This features all the same exploration, colonization, and development of the online version, along with a variety of options to customize the skill level and personality of your AI opponents.
Alternately, if you have a US-based, Catan-playing friend on your MSN Messenger list, they can always invite you into an online game. Subscribers can invite up to two other players per game.
Big thanks to our preview players!
We also wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in our free preview period. Your feedback was essential to us in making this game the best it could possibly be, and we really appreciate your time. Now that the game is released, we hope you all continue to play; perhaps we’ll meet again on opposite sides of the board one day! | |
