Klaus Teuber (1953-2023) was one of the most respected game designers in the world. With his greatest success The Settlers of CATAN, Klaus Teuber created a unique game universe, which became one of the most successful board games in well over 40 languages. He established and shaped the genre of board games as such. He wrote the Catan novels as the completion of the games, to show the depth of this world.
Klaus Teuber's profound convictions have shaped the world of CATAN and are the reason for its continuing relevance even after more than 25 years: "At the game table, all are equal: origin, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, religious convictions or age do not play a role. Everyone has the same rights within the set of rules."
