Product Information

Full details

Dobble Catan is a fast-paced card game for 2-6 players, ages 8 and up, perfect for family game nights or parties. It blends the quick-spotting mechanics of Dobble with the theme of the popular board game Catan, offering a quick 15-minute playtime. The main caveat is that while it combines two popular games, it might feel repetitive for those deeply familiar with both individual games.

What are the main components of Dobble Catan?

Troubleshooting

Cannot find a matching symbol between cards.

Double-check both cards carefully. Each card in Dobble is guaranteed to have exactly one symbol in common with any other card. Ensure you are looking at the correct symbols and have not mistaken a similar-looking one.

Players are arguing about a match.

Refer to the rulebook's visual guide for symbol identification if there's confusion. For casual play, agree on a 'referee' or agree to accept any reasonable match to keep the game moving.

Game feels too fast or too slow for some players.

Adjust the game mode or consider playing in teams to balance the pace. For slower players, focus on identifying symbols rather than speed initially. For faster players, emphasize the competitive race aspect.

Components are missing or damaged.

Contact the manufacturer or the retailer from which the game was purchased. Asmodee typically has customer support available for such issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines two popular game formats for a unique experience.
  • Quick playtime makes it suitable for short gaming sessions.
  • Easy to learn and suitable for a wide age range.
  • Multiple game modes increase replayability.
  • Portable and convenient for travel.

Cons

  • May become repetitive for players very familiar with both Dobble and Catan.
  • The Catan theme integration is primarily cosmetic and doesn't replicate Catan's strategic depth.
  • Can be intensely competitive, potentially leading to frustration for some players.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Separate the different card decks as indicated by the specific game mode you choose to play.
  2. For most modes, one card is placed face-up in the center of the play area.
  3. Each player receives one card dealt face-down, or players share cards in team modes.
  4. Refer to the rulebook for the specific setup instructions of each of the five included game modes.

Compatibility:

  • Player Count: Designed for 2 to 6 players.
  • Age Range: Recommended for ages 8 and up.
  • Thematic Compatibility: While themed around Catan, the gameplay is entirely Dobble. It does not require knowledge of Catan's board game mechanics to play or enjoy.

Care:

  • Keep cards away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent damage and fading.
  • Store cards in their original box or a protective sleeve to maintain their condition.
  • If cards become dirty, wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
  • Ensure all components are returned to the box after play to prevent loss.
