Announcing: Colonist Rush
Colonist Rush transforms Catan into a real-time strategy game with simultaneous gameplay, no waiting, and full matches in under 10 minutes.
- In 1995, Catan was designed for the physical table.
- In 2018, Colonist helped bring it online for a new generation of players.
- In 2021, Colonist’s 1v1 became the most popular Catan variant world wide.
- And now, in 2026, comes our next major step: Colonist Rush, 10 minute Catan…
Since starting Colonist, one question stayed in our minds:
What would Catan look like if it was designed for the internet from day one?
We didn’t want to wait for 3 other players to make their moves. We craved for something faster, more intense. Over the years, both Colonist and our community experimented with more simultaneous ways to play. Eventually, something clicked.
So we built Colonist Rush.
- ⚡ Real-time gameplay
- ⚡ Simultaneous building & trading
- ⚡ Minimal wait times
- ⚡ Full 4-player games in under 10 minutes
Rush is our vision for the future of Catan.
We believe Colonist Rush will become the most played variant. Until we create something even better…
