exozet games, a developer of mobile games, announced this week having signed a distribution agreement with GlobalFun to bring the mobile version of the highly popular board game 'The Settlers of Catan' to Sony Ericsson portals (“Fun & Downloads”, “Play Now” and “Play Now Arena”) and several channels in EMEA, Latin America and North America.

There is hardly a board game award that the "Settlers of Catan" game, created by Klaus Teuber, has not won. This classic has a global fan community and has been translated into 25 languages over its 13 successful years with more than 11 million copies sold worldwide. The award-winning mobile version of the game, "Catan -The First Island", is providing the same and exciting fun anytime, anywhere. exozet games is planning to release 'Catan - The First Island' on Nintendo DS.

Just like in the original game, up to four players can compete for the most settlements, the longest roads and the largest army. You can trade with each other and claim the precious land with all its resources. If there are no other players available, various Catanians, each with their own individual characteristics, will prove themselves worthy competitors: the pirate Jean, who knows no compromise, Vincent the merchant, who never allows to be cheated, Siegfried the knight, who takes what is rightfully his. Find out if you are a really a secret colonialist, confront your rivals and become Lord of Catan!

Features of the game include the original rule set of the classic board game "The Settlers of Catan", Bluetooth and Hot-Seat-Multiplayer-Mode, smart computer-opponents each with their own strategy, various game setting, zoom function, save game, interactive game tutorials and statistics.

“Catan - The First Island” is a co-production of exozet games and USM (United Soft Media GmbH).
