Catan Die Erste Insel is the Playstation adaptation of the popular board game "The Settlers of Catan". Features a 3D environment that simulates playing the board game against several AI opponents. Provides a simple introduction to the game play. Includes a 12 mission campaign, with several missions developed by the board game designer Klaus Teuber. Includes free game variants for the board game and the expansion "Die Seefahrer" (The Seafarers of Catan).

Catan uses a game board composed of 19 randomly arranged hexagonal tiles, each representing a different type of terrain or resource. Through strategy, luck, and skillful negotiation, 3 or 4 players vie to be the first to earn 10 victory points. This is done through building and enlarging settlements, by establishing the largest army, by building the longest road, or through the use of certain development cards.
