About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture a giant Catan, where dozens of friends come together to battle for resources in a strategic arena. Mayfair Games’ Big Game Event Kit was designed to turn any party or gathering into an epic 90‑minute experience, featuring special rules that keep the game flowing and fun. The kit includes foldable board tiles that snap together, letting you link up to four tiles to create a massive board with over 12 roads of each color. Players receive small‑format resource cards, replacing traditional wood pieces with plastic tokens for a cleaner look and space savings. The negotiation mechanic becomes even more exciting as players trade resources in real time, forging unexpected alliances. If you have more than six friends, simply use multiple kits and chain the tiles; for hundreds of players, a comprehensive manual explains how to organize a large event, from setup to card distribution. The result is a unique social experience where competition blends with camaraderie, and victory is celebrated in grand style. Whether you want to break the ice at a party, reunite old friends, or simply test your negotiation skills on a grand scale, Catan: Big Game Event Kit is the perfect choice. It’s the best way to enjoy the game everyone loves, but in a format no one will forget.
