Kosmos Catan Junior board game

Catan Junior is a simplified version of the world-famous Catan board game, specifically designed for children aged 6 and up. Originally created by the legendary game designer Klaus Teuber, the Catan brand was first launched in Germany in 1995 as "Die Siedler von Catan" (The Settlers of Catan). The brand has since become a global phenomenon, selling millions of copies worldwide.

The game shown in the image is published by KOSMOS (Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH & Co. KG), a traditional German publishing house based in Stuttgart. KOSMOS has a long history dating back to 1822 and is known for its high-quality educational games, science kits, and books. While the intellectual property rights to the Catan brand are held by Catan GmbH (a company founded by the Teuber family), KOSMOS remains the primary publisher for the German market and many international editions. Manufacturing for KOSMOS board games typically takes place in Germany or nearby European countries to maintain high production standards.
