#DoYouCatan

Visitors can try their hand at Catan, a strategy board game that requires players to trade, build and settle. The Road to CATAN 2024 World Championship will be launched and announced at CCCT.  Road to Catan Worlds 2024 is a national tournament circuit where players play their hearts out to represent South Africa at the Catan World Championships in Europe in 2024. Unplug Yourself will send both the 2023 and the 2024 National Champions to the Catan World Championships to represent South Africa.

Our previous winner, Brett (Fish) Anderson, represented South Africa at the Catan World Championships in Malta in 2022; he placed 7th overall. Festival goers will be able to chat with Anderson about his Catan journey and even challenge him to a game of Catan!

Unplug Yourself Play Area

A dedicated Unplug Yourself area allows visitors to experience games, learn to play, and more. TCG formal events will be happening for seasoned Pokémon and Magic: the Gathering players. Players can hold the new Pokémon Scarlet & Violet cards and enjoy the latest, newly released MtG cards.

A Catan play area will be part of Unplug Yourself and it’s specifically for those who want to learn how to play, challenge seasoned players including our current SA Champ and just have some fun  while standing a chance to win great prizes. With over 10 million units sold worldwide and counting, Catan is a modern classic that continues to hit the gaming sweet spot. The board setup can be changed with every gameplay, creating new possibilities for out-strategizing opponents. Expansion sets add novelty and different themes. Since it first hit shelves in 1995, the game has appealed to a wide age group ranging from 9 to 90 years.

Table Top gaming for the whole family

“This will be the first Comic Con in Cape Town and the Unplug Yourself team is looking forward to bringing board gaming and TCGs to the table. We will be offering a tangible, exhilarating, competitive experience of some of the world’s most-loved tabletop games,” concludes Galliford.
