Long gone is the agrarian society of the island’s Viking ancestors. Today’s Catanians need energy to keep society moving and growing, but pollution is wreaking havoc on the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou must decide: Invest in clean energy resources or opt for cheaper fossil fuels, potentially causing disastrous effects for the island?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCATAN – New Energies\u003c\/em\u003e is a brand new standalone game that is rooted in classic CATAN mechanics of harvesting, trading, and building. New gameplay elements including power plants, energy tokens, and environmental events add new strategies and stories to a familiar foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful art by Ian O’Toole brings players from the age of the Vikings into the present day with a striking new rendering of the island of Catan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this memorable and meaningful standalone \u003cem\u003eCATAN\u003c\/em\u003e experience, you and your fellow players manage energy needs for your societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll start with cheap fossil fuels that cause pollution events and interrupt resource production. But as you invest in renewable energy, pollution events are replaced with rewards for sustainable strategies. You’ll monitor and negotiate with fellow players to decrease pollution, which affects everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in real life, the most sustainable player does not always win, and as in any \u003cem\u003eCATAN\u003c\/em\u003e game, there are multiple paths to victory. But, if pollution levels remain too high for too long and the game ends in catastrophe, the player who has invested most in renewable energy wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its essence, this \u003cem\u003eCATAN\u003c\/em\u003e variant highlights the importance of investment in renewables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recognize that producing games creates environmental impact.
