Settlers of Catan: Online & Free

747px-Settlers_of_Catan_-_standard_mapI 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.”

  1. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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?

    ASO has blocked all new registrations- and removed all inactive profiles- so if you are/ were not an active player- you wont be able to use this site. which stinks.
