We have been looking forward to talking to Guido Teuber and Gavin Allister of Catan, LLC. We have been enjoying a variety of games at PlayCatan for a while now and now have the chance to let Guido and Gavin share them with you. We even have some links to share with you to download the Catan Online beta clients so you can start playing today.

Guido Teuber grew up in the world of Catan as a subject of playtesting for his father, Klaus Teuber, and later to take on roles inside the company of this successful line of games. He is now a managing director for Catan, LLC, the United States wing of the Catan World. Gavin got his start in the Catan world by translating German for us English speaking folk and now serves as the community manager for the online world.

Apart from Catan Online that you play in, we also talked about several web games that don’t require a client download. The popular one is Catan Dice Game, which is also about to be released as a physical product. You can also play Oceania, Starship Catan Light and Multicatan. They’ll give you a challenge and a brief break, and a chance to sample the games before buying their physical counterparts.

Make sure to join us for the Catan Online world with the client software. Remember this is not an official version but still in beta testing. It is playable and an absolute blast, but you may find a few lingering translation errors. Enjoy, and we will see you inside the world of Catan.
