Settlers of Catan Settles on DS

The hugely addictive German strategy board game The Settlers of Catan is coming to the Nintendo DS.

The DS version of the game will be a port of Catan: The First Island, a mobile version (right) released earlier this year, and now available worldwide through Sony Ericsson portals.

No other details were revealed, but since the mobile version includes multiplayer (over Bluetooth), I think we can expect to see the same on the DS.

Not familiar with Catan? The game is probably the best known casual strategy board game out there — instead of battles, the basic game is about developing settlements, while collecting and trading resources. If board games aren’t for you, then give the Xbox Live Arcade version a try, which does a terrific job of bringing online multiplayer to the game.
