Best Free Catan Alternative for Mobile - Landover

Been working on this for roughly 2 years and finally it's in the app stores! Super excited to get your feedback. I've always wanted to make a really solid mobile app that is strongly inspired by Cities and knights and seafarers but that plays a lot faster.

I was inspired by how Hearthstone took MTG and made it easier to learn and faster to play, and I've always loved Catan but never liked how long the games take. Wanted a 10-15 min version and I wanted it to work well on my phone.

Many people will instantly recognize Landover as being very similar to Settlers of Catan®. It is true that Landover shares many similarities and was inspired by Settlers of Catan® and its expansion packs, Cities & Knights and Seafarers. I was very much a Catan® enthusiast and played on many of the online sites including Asobrain and playcatan. After having tried Catan® Universe, I realized that there were no longer any good places left to play Catan® online, as asobrain’s technology was now defunct on modern browsers, and the Catan® Universe UI was cumbersome and the game was riddled with bugs.

In addition to not having any good online destinations for Settlers of Catan®, I also realized that Catan® needed some massive rule changes to improve the speed of the game, simplify the mechanics, and make the game easier to learn. Much like Hearthstone did for Magic the Gathering, Landover greatly improves Catan® through simpler mechanics and less complexity while still staying true to the overall concept.

Here is a link that explains the rule changes I've made (so far):
