Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2003, The Kids of Catan was designed by Klaus Teuber as an entry-level iteration of his globally successful Catan series. Intended to introduce younger children to the fundamental mechanics of resource management and territory development, the game simplifies the complex economic systems of the original title into a format suitable for players as young as four. By shifting the focus from competitive trading to cooperative development of a Catan village, Teuber aimed to make the core logic of the franchise accessible to a demographic that had previously been excluded from the tabletop hobby.

The visual identity of the game was crafted to be approachable, featuring a colorful, child-friendly aesthetic that contrasts with the traditional hex-based map of the flagship title. The design emphasizes chunky, durable components that prioritize tactile engagement over the intricate strategy found in adult-oriented board games. Upon release, it was well-received by parents and educators as a gentle introduction to tactical decision-making, helping to cement Teuber's legacy as a designer who could successfully scale complex systems for all age groups.
