Attention all CATAN-ers! The CATAN State Championships and search for the nation's greatest CATAN
player are back for another year, bringing a range of fun, friendly competitions to five States this June and
July.
Named by the Wall Street Journal as ‘the board game of our time’, CATAN has surged in popularity since
its inception in 1995. CATAN’s innovative gameplay and easy-to-learn mechanics appeal to both casual
gamers and seasoned strategists, which has in turn helped solidify its place in the world of tabletop
gaming and inspire a number of expansions, spin-offs and digital adaptations.
VR Distribution, in partnership with five venues across the country, will be hosting the championship
tournaments which will be split into two stages: Preliminary and Finals. The Preliminary round will consist
of three games of CATAN (base version with no expansions), with the top four scoring players
progressing to the Finals.
Spot prizes will be awarded to players throughout the day and the winners from each State Championship
will win a prize pack that includes a guaranteed seat at the 2024 CATAN Australian National
Championship Tournament in Canberra later in the year.
The crowned CATAN National Champion will also join Elliot Yap (Australian 2023 Champion) at the next
CATAN World Championship in 2025.
