Who knew there 🌳was such a massive crossover between the Catan fandom, and escape room likers? Yeah, a Catan version of EXIT: The Game just landed in my inbox and I'm as much perplexed as I am excited for the upcoming release.

As part of Catan's 30th anniversary celebrations, Thames & Kosmos is bringing us Exit: The Game - Adventures on Catan, an escape room-style game with nods to the original Catan gameplay. One that could garner quite a lot of attention, being themed around one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best board games ever.

"Players trade with residents to build out the isl🔯and and discover more resources", the press release reveals. But it's not as simple as all that. "Numerous challenges and riddles" await players trying to build a new life in a modern land, so there should be plenty of pﷺuzzles and challenges to work out with your other Catan-obsessed pals.

I'm honestly trying to envision a Catan Exit game, but without any more information from the press release it's a little hard to do so. Do you need to figure out ho🧸w to sail to the island itself? Will there be wheat-based puzzles making their way ont💃o tabletops world-round?

on the Thames & Kosmos store.

Of course, it's not the only new product in the Catan franchise - the new version of Catan is "modernizing" th⭕e board game and "updating✱ it to today's standards." We'll be able to see how successfuꦰl that was when the game's sixth edition launches at tꦆhe end of this month.
