In each game, the board is comprised of hexes that each represent a different resource for players to utilize: wood, brick, wool, wheat, and ore. While it isn’t the first time we’ve seen a digital tabletop game make its way to a console (or even the first time for Settlers itself), Catan shows some glimpses of how I could see the Switch adapt itself really well to more tabletop-style experiences, but falls short in a few other key areas.įor those unfamiliar with the game itself, Catan puts players into the role of a group of settlers on the idyllic island of Catan as they seek to establish towns, gather resources, and (ultimately) work their way up to building a proper civilization.
While I don’t always get the opportunity to get a group of friends together to play through our old favorite board games (and the new ones still sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be played), digital board games like Asmodee Digital’s Catan for Nintendo Switch seem like they could fill a very particular void for those times. There’s just something about gathering a group of friends to get lost in a game together for a couple of hours, and few games have scratched that itch for me as much as Settlers of Catan, which is still one of my perennial favorites whenever I have game nights at home.
As much as I love the experience of sinking dozens of hours into video games as my hobby of choice, I still have a pretty big spot in my heart for tabletop games.
