Catan World Championship 2025 in Stuttgart

As we celebrate CATAN’s 30th Anniversary, a highlight will be the 2025 CATAN World Championship (CWC)! 90 players from 60 countries and regions will compete against each other April 5-6 in Stuttgart, Germany for the title of World Champion. The event is organized by KOSMOS Verlag, CATAN Studio, and CATAN GmbH.  

The Right Location 

CWC 2025 will be held in the Württemberg State Museum, located in the Old Castle in the heart of Stuttgart. This is a homecoming of sorts, as CATAN was first published by KOSMOS in Stuttgart in 1995, 30 years ago. 

A First Look 

The tournament will be the first chance for players to experience CATAN 6th Edition (6E). The latest edition of CATAN breathes new visual life into the same game players have known and loved for generations, adding quality of life improvements to its iconic design. CWC 2025 will be played using the international version of CATAN from KOSMOS, which differs from the English-language version - it uses plastic components, different size cards, and other minor distinctions.  

Experience the Action!

You can join us at CWC 2025 to meet top players and community members, as well as folks from the CATAN development teams who will be there to join in the festivities. 

Sunday will feature an opportunity for guests to play CATAN (and other KOSMOS titles) with family and friends, with additional staff on hand from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to help with any questions about rules or gameplay.  

Saturday, April 5:10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.: Four preliminary rounds

Sunday, April 6:10:00 a.m. // Semifinals1:30 p.m. // Finals 6:00 p.m. // Awards ceremony 

We look forward to a legendary tournament full of strategy, luck and thrills - Stay tuned for further updates.
