Contest Rules

We are looking for a few good scenarios! So, we are launching our first ever Scenario Design Contest! For our first contest, we are focusing on the basic, 4-player The Settlers of Catan®(“Settlers”) game. The best scenario designers will not only win prizes, but will see their great ideas in print! So, come up with a premise, sketch out a new board layout, write up some special rules, and playtest a bit. Then, when it’s fine tuned and ready, submit it. Who knows? You may end up as a published “Designer of Catan!”
