I have a blast playing Euro Games. By far my favorite Euro game is Settlers of Catan. I was introduced to this awesome game by a few of my cousins that used to live nearby. Sadly, they’ve graduated high school and have moved away leaving my Catan player base generally below par. To counter-act this lack of Catan playing, my pal Randy directed me to a location to play Catan online!
Aso Brain Games is a site built by a couple of competent developers from the Netherlands. They’ve coded an excellent Java version of Catan that allows you to play solo or multiplayer; basic ‘Catan’ or ‘Cities and Knights of Catan’. To avoid copyright violation, the game has been renamed to Xplorers.
If you’re on the hunt for an online Catan game…
Aso Brain Games is all you need :)
Also, if you’re a fan of Carcasonne, they’ve got that game as well…dubbed “Toulouse.”
I have seen the Aso Brain client, although it is decent, I believe the stand alone client Sea3D is better, at least for Settlers of Catan Variants and Seafares Variants…it has no Cities and Knights component…however the designer is working on the client for Cities and Knights called Cities3D…to check out this client see http://www.s3dconnector.net.

Justin has Settlers and Seafarers of Catan. We should have a get-together!
catan rocks
i love settlers of catan! its the best game i have ever played, and i already pretty much mastered it. i play it every weekend with my brothers and our friend, and we get really into it. i am thinking of buying catan for myself to play at home.
What version of Catan is the picture above because mine looks way different
Aso Brain uses Java which is not working through Internet Explorer which is the way we get on the internet. I loved it when our msn worked! Anyone know of other sites?
I fucking love catan!!!
catan is good pastime
Your board is different than the one I have
Catan is great fun
CATAN IS GREAT
how do you play this on the internet?!? i got the board game at home and needed to play online XD =P
I am so pleased that I found your blog. For years I have been playing settlers of catan with my boys. Unfortunately they’ve reached an age, where they are not that interested in playing anymore (I hope it’s only being teenagers!!!). But with this info I might be able to play online. Thanks a lot.
catan is so so so so sososososososososososo cool game i have the seafarers and the cities and knight’s extras too its so cooool
I haven’t had any luck playing the ASO version of the game online. Any suggestions on browsers that work with the game’s java requirements?
