CATAN Australian State and National Championships Return in 2024

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.
